This engraving by August Dalbon depicts Arthur Wellesley, Duke of Wellington, a prominent British military figure. Created around 1814, the artwork captures Wellington in a formal portrait, his attire and the laurel wreath surrounding him suggesting his high rank. The inscription, "Arthur, Herzog von Wellington Koenigl. Grossbritannien Feldmarschall," identifies him as the Field Marshal of Great Britain. The engraving’s classic style and emphasis on realism make it a valuable historical document, offering a glimpse into the visual culture of the early 19th century.
