Blank greetings card with envelope featuring:

James Waldegrave, 1st Earl Waldegrave NPG 1875

© National Portrait Gallery, London

by Gustaf Lundberg

Lundberg probably met British ambassador James Waldegrave through Carl-Gustav Tessin. This image was made using a wet pastel technique, in which pastel powder was mixed with a liquid, such as gum or water, and applied with a brush or the artist's fingers. Skilled pastellists were appreciated in France and Lundberg became spectacularly successful. The French King even overlooked Lundberg's Protestant faith to admit him to the exclusive Royal Academy of Painting and Sculpture in 1741.
