Note du spécialiste

This is a version of the full-length portrait of William IV painted by Wilkie in 1832 for the Waterloo Chamber of Windsor Castle (RCIN 404931). It was likely painted in 1833, when Wilkie painted two copies of the original and may have been the version in the posession of the artist at his death.
