This oil painting by Joshua Reynolds depicts Charles Stanhope, the 3rd Earl of Harrington, in a full-length portrait. Dressed in armor, he stands confidently with a sword in hand against a dramatic background of clouds and sky. The presence of another, smaller figure behind him suggests an element of grandeur and power associated with his noble status. This portrait, while portraying Charles Stanhope as a military leader, also highlights the artistic skill of Reynolds in capturing the individual personality of his subjects.
