James Wolfe Portrait Print

James Wolfe NPG 2225

after Joseph Wilton

General James Wolfe was killed leading the attack that seized Quebec from the French in 1759. In designing this posthumous bust, Wilton allegedly rushed to Portsmouth to have Wolfe's newly-landed coffin opened so he could sketch his face. Wilton found it 'too much distorted', and had to rely on association to create an idealised portrait of a hero: the classical tunic and armour of an ancient Roman soldier and, more specifically, the wolf motifs on the shoulders - a pun on the General's name.
