  • 19th Century English School Portrait Miniature of Royal Sitter King George IV
    Located in Braintree, GB
    Antique 19th century English school portrait miniature of Royal sitter king George IV ( 12 August 1762 – 26 June 1830) half-length, in red coat and wearing the Order of the Garter . Provenance: Descended property of Their Majesties King George V and Queen Mary, sold in one of the auctions in London, later bought from a private collector. King George IV (George Augustus Frederick) was the king of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland as well as the ruler of Hanover. Born in mid-eighteenth century, he was the eldest son of King George III.

Despite presiding over the British Empire's emergence as a global hegemon, his rule was tarnished by scandal and financial extravagance. His ministers found his behaviour selfish, unreliable and irresponsible, and he was strongly influenced by favourites. Taxpayers were angry at his wasteful spending during the Napoleonic Wars. During most of George's regency and reign, Lord Liverpool controlled the government as Prime Minister of the United Kingdom. Liverpool's government presided over Britain's ultimate victory over Napoleon and negotiated a peace settlement with the French. After Liverpool's retirement, George IV was forced to accept Catholic emancipation despite opposing it. His only legitimate child, Princess Charlotte...
