Portrait of Philip Yorke, 3rd Earl of Hardwicke (1757-1834)

The sitter was the eldest son of the Hon. Charles Yorke (1722-1770). In 1782 he married Lady Elizabeth Lindsay, daughter of James, 5th Earl of Balcarres, with whom he had six children. He was MP for Cambridgeshire between 1780-90. He was nephew of the 2nd Earl of Hardwicke whom he succeeded in the earldom in 1790. He took a keen interest in antiquarian subjects and was a Trustee of the British Museum. It was he who employed Sir John Soane to make the house at Wimpole into a coherent whole, and Humphry Repton to transform the park.

A second version exists at Wimpole (National Trust).
