Summary

Portrait of Shelburne, standing, facing three-quarters left, his right hand thrust under his Garter ribbon, with which (with the Dukes of Devonshire and Richmond) he had been invested on 17 Apr. His left hand rests on his sword. He wears a bag-wig and ruffles, and has the sly, complacent smile and half-closed eyes which are conspicuous in satires of Shelburne at this time.
