High resolution image of an
Oil on canvas portrait of
George IV as 'The
Prince Regent'. Good quality scan as well as being vastly encyclopaedic and historic.
Proposed caption
The Prince Regent by
Sir Thomas Lawrence. In 1814, Lord Stewart, who had been appointed ambassador in Vienna and was a previous client of Thomas Lawrence, wanted to commission a portrait by him of the Prince Regent. He arranged that Lawrence should be presented to the Prince Regent at a
levée. Soon after, the Prince visited Lawrence at his studio in
Russell Square. Lawrence wrote to his brother that: To crown this honour, [he] engag'd to sit to me at one today and after a successful sitting of two hours, has just left me and comes again tomorrow and the next day.

I agree. Also, isn't the image rather unecessarily large (as in file size) for its resolution? Not an issue for FPC, but I was just wondering...

I have a feeling that the speckled artefacts in the scan are from the canvas (or brush strokes) because I think they appear in the original.

Those artifacts are definitely from halftoning. At the very least, canvas texture wouldn't be so regular or cause colour variations. I suppose the file size is a bit excessive, but if the uploader wants to give us extra information, I say take it (even if involves long downloads)!
