 Guardian Unlimited | Arts features | George IV, Sir Thomas Lawrence (1822)
Lawrence makes him a man of affairs - there are documents beside him on the red seat, and top hat and gloves ready to go.
Lawrence gives him a grand theatrical stage, with a stormy landscape suggesting - it might have seemed to George - passions that can only be hinted at in an official portrait.
Inspirations and influences: Lawrence was revered by Constable and Turner; the latter produced a heartfelt watercolour of Lawrence's state funeral and tried to court George himself, painting a landscape in 1819 sentimentally entitled England: Richmond Hill on the Prince Regent's Birthday.

 Queen Charlotte by LAWRENCE, Sir Thomas
The youngest of five children of somewhat improvident parents, Lawrence was an infant prodigy.
Praised outside the royal family, the picture was never acquired by them, perhaps because the king was upset by the queen having posed bareheaded after Lawrence disliked the bonnet and hat she had chosen to wear.
Eventually it was the Assistant Keeper of her Wardrobe who completed the sittings for such details as the bracelets bearing a portrait miniature of the king and his cipher.

 Portrait of an Old Man   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-06)
The old man’s face, plainly the point from which Lawrence began the composition, has achieved a penetrating, almost yearning soulful expression, with which the viewer engages in a manner reminiscent somehow of the instinctive wordless communion one experiences with animals in a painting by Landseer.
This is not certain, however; the portrait remains unidentified as well as unfinished, but the red curtain that has already been added to the portrait is a gentlemanly prop, and it is still far from impossible that the painting was intended for a formal commission.
Lawrence’s preference for bold, pure colours and broad, robust brushwork ensures that age need not imply enfeeblement, and the sitter appears still to be in rude health from the high colour of his cheeks.
