Borstbeeld in ovaal van George III van Engeland 1760 - 1820

This anonymous 18th century print, housed in the Rijksmuseum, depicts George III of England in profile. The engraving is framed by an oval, which was a popular format for portraits during the 18th century. The king is shown wearing a formal dress, and his elaborate wig and star-shaped insignia underscore his status. This small-scale work is a testament to the enduring popularity of portraiture, especially of notable figures, and its ability to capture likeness and convey social significance.
