Title
Portrait of Cornet Edward Walpole (1737-1771)
Description

"This miniature was painted sometime between 1795 and 1808 when Shelley was living in Great St. George Street, Hanover Square. The stylistically old-fashioned appearance of this miniature for this period of his career may be explained by the fact that Shelley was copying a painting by Thomas Hudson.

The sitter is the grandson of Sir Robert Walpole, 1st Earl of Orford. He is seen here wearing the uniform of the Inniskilling Dragoons."
