About the piece

Painted in 1786 by the celebrated British portraitist George Romney, this work depicts Colonel Albemarle Bertie, later the 9th Earl of Lindsay. The subject is rendered with Romney's signature luminosity, wearing the vibrant red of a British military officer set against a dramatic, dark background that emphasizes the noble features and command of the sitter.
