Sir William Fawcett Greetings Card

Regular price £4.00

Blank greetings card with envelope featuring:

Sir William Fawcett NPG 5515

© National Portrait Gallery, London

by Sir Joshua Reynolds

This portrait shows Fawcett in his lieutenant-general's uniform - red frock coat with blue lapels, silver trim and silver epaulettes. The heavy sky helps to highlight these colours. The accuracy of the costume was important to Fawcett. Although Reynolds displayed the portrait at the Royal Academy exhibition of 1785, Fawcett had the ribbon and the star of the Order of the Bath added after 1786 when he was awarded the honour.

Card size: 125mm x 175mm

Images are printed in their original proportions, within a white border.
