#Baron Douro or Wellesley

[shkatzchen]

Sir Thomas Lawrence was one of the important painters of the Regency and reign of George IV. He is perhaps best known for the works of the Waterloo Chamber at Windsor Castle, which depict the major figures who came together to depict Napoleon, along with members of the Restored French Monarchy. Sir Thomas did several different portraits of His Grace, General Sir Arthur Wellesley, the Duke of Wellington, etc. This particular one is of the Iron Duke astride his noble steed Copenhagen at Waterloo, done in 1818. Beau Wellesley is in dark clothing rather than the red coat usually associated with the British military, which was typical for him.

This CC version is an abridged version of the painting (the full painting includes the bottom half of the horse and some of the battlefield). It comes in six swatches: Gold, White, Beige, Medium Brown, Dark Brown, and Black.

Blame for this can be laid at the feet of @amarguerite, whose An Ever-Fixed Mark series is one of my favorite reads, as it was the impetus for me reading far too much about Sir Arthur. Also technically the reason why I have/will have so much Vigee-Le Brun cc.
