Blank greetings card with envelope featuring:

King George IV NPG 5890

© National Portrait Gallery, London

by Richard Cosway

This miniature of the Prince as an elegant, fashion conscious young man may have been commissioned as a gift for the actress Mary 'Perdita' Robinson, the Prince's mistress in 1782. It was one of Cosway's first miniatures for George who appointed him 'Painter to the Prince of Wales' in 1785. Over the following twenty years, Cosway - a supreme connoisseur - was also the Prince's leading advisor on artistic matters.

Card size: 125mm x 175mm
