About the piece
Painted in 1724 by Martin Maingaud, this striking portrait depicts George Hamilton, the 1st Earl of Orkney, in his role as Field Marshal. The subject is shown in magnificent plate armor with a distinctive green sash of the Order of the Thistle, standing against a dark, atmospheric background that suggests a distant battlefield.
