專家說明

The present drawing clearly relates to John Raphael Smith's (1752-1812) mezzotint of King George IV as Prince of Wales, after Thomas Gainsborough. First published on 28 April 1783, it depicts the Prince full-length, in uniform, leaning against a horse. However, the present drawing, with its round cheeks and fleshy jowls, more closely resembles a 1789 version of the print, from which Rowlandson has taken the head and shoulders.
