EDITORS COMMENTS
This portrait depicts Ford Grey, 1st Earl of Tankerville, also known as Lord Gray or Forde Grey, born in 1712. The image is taken from Samuel Woodburn's collection of "Portraits of characters illustrious in British History from the beginning of the reign of Henry the Eighth to the end of the reign of James the Second," published in London in 1815. Lord Gray was a prominent figure in British politics during the 18th century, holding various positions of power such as the First Lord of the Treasury, Lord Privy Seal, and Lord Lieutenant of Ireland. He was also involved in several significant political plots, including the Monmouth Rebellion and the Rye House Plot. In this portrait, Lord Gray is depicted wearing the formal attire of the aristocracy, with a white shirt, black waistcoat, and a dark coat. The intricate details of his clothing, from the buttons and cuffs to the folds and textures, are expertly captured by the skilled hand of engraver Charles Turner. The background of the portrait is simple, with a plain grey backdrop that allows the subject to stand out. Lord Gray's serious expression and piercing gaze convey a sense of authority and importance, making this a striking and captivating image of a significant figure in British history. The portrait offers a glimpse into the fashion and politics of the 18th century, providing valuable insights into the lives of the aristocracy and the political landscape of the time. It is a testament to the skill and artistry of both the painter and the engraver, and a valuable addition to any collection of historical portraits or British history.
