Charles Jervas (c. 1675-1739), c. 1718

oil on canvas 238.1 x 129.5cm

The Duke wears Garter robes, and this portrait was probably painted shortly after his appointment as KG in 1718. There are three-quarter length versions at Deene Park and in the collection of Lord Montagu of Beaulieu (probably cut down from a full-length).

PROVENANCE presumably by descent from the sitter
