About the piece
Painted by William Hoare around 1772, this stately portrait depicts William Pitt, 1st Earl of Chatham, in his peer's robes of scarlet and white ermine. Standing with a scroll in hand against a classical architectural backdrop, Pitt’s dignified presence captures the gravity of his role as one of Britain’s most influential Prime Ministers.
