EDITORS COMMENTS
This portrait print showcases Robert Nugent, Lord Clare, a prominent figure in 18th-century British politics. Created by the renowned artist Thomas Gainsborough in approximately 1759, this artwork beautifully captures Nugent's essence through delicate pencil and watercolor strokes on paper. The subject of the portrait is depicted seated in a regal red velvet chair, exuding an air of authority and confidence. His attire reflects his status as a politician, with papers scattered around him symbolizing his involvement in matters of governance. The meticulously detailed wig adds to the elegance of his appearance. Nugent's political career is highlighted by his role as Member of Parliament for Bristol during this period. This painting was later displayed at the Council House in Bristol, serving as a visual representation of Nugent's influence and power within the city. Joseph Manning also contributed to this artwork alongside Gainsborough, adding further depth to its creation. The City of Bristol Corporation acquired this piece through William Jerdone Braikenridge's bequest in 1908. As we admire this remarkable print today, we are transported back to an era where politics and art intertwined seamlessly. It serves as a testament to both Nugent's significance as a statesman and Gainsborough's talent as an artist capturing not only physical likeness but also personality on paper.
