| Description |
English: Painted in c 1805. Bequeathed in 1940. John Hoppner (1758-1810) British. Oil on canvas. Acc. no. 1582. Bequeathed by Sir Abe Bailey to the SA Nation. This elegant portrait is one of the several versions painted by Hopner of William Pitt the Younger, Britain's youngest-ever Prime Minister. The original is considered to be that commissioned by Lord Mulgrave in 1804 and which is now at Cowdray Park. The original portrait was still in the artist's studio two years later when Pitt died and applications for copies were immediately submitted by Pitt's friends and colleagues. Pitt's youth is apparently belied by his grey hair in this portrait. It was fashion in those days for men to powder their hair, and the color seen in this portrait was obviously not natural |
