Abstract

"A caricature portrait of the Marquis of Buckingham (George Grenville Nugent Temple) walking in profile to the left. He wears military uniform with cocked hat and spurred Hessians, and is enormously obese, his sword-belt grotesquely clasped across his paunch. His hand is on the hilt of his sword. He was Lord Lieutenant of Bucks. Unlike other caricatures of Buckingham."--British Museum online catalogue

"George identified the subject as George Nugent-Temple-Grenville, Marquess of Buckingham (1753-1813) but it is, rather, his son Richard Temple-Nugent-Brydges-Chandos-Grenville, first duke of Buckingham and Chandos (1776-1839), known until 1813 as Earl Temple."--Curator's comments, British Museum online catalogue
