Henry William Paget, 1st Marquess of Anglesey (1768-1854) Field Marshal, politician and Lord Lieutenant of Ireland

Oil on canvas. Paget, who was in his 80s when this portrait was painted, was the uncle of the artist Henry Richard Graves. There are several portraits by Graves depicting his uncle, all made in the early 1850s. They include a watercolour at Dunbrody Park; a watercolour and a pencil drawing at Plas Newydd (the country seat of the Marquess of Anglesey); an oil painting, painted for the Household Calvalry Regiment, with the Blues and Royals; and a further oil painting at Huntington Town Hall. The National Portrait Gallery’s catalogue of 'Regency Portraits' (1985) describes this work as a copy of the oil painting ‘formerly at Hinchingbrooke [House, near Huntingdon in Cambridgeshire] and now in Huntingdon Town Hall’.
