This is a version of Lawrence’s most replicated portrait of the Prince Regent, painted in 1818 wearing Garter robes and presented by the sitter to the Mansion House in Dublin (now in the Hugh Lane Gallery). This is one of four versions currently in the Royal Collection (RCIN 405680, 405309, 404933, 404384) all painted after the Coronation in 1820 at which point a crown replaces the plumed hat of the Garter on the table. This one may be the version for which Lawrence was paid the princely sum of 750 guineas during the period 1818-1823; it has hung in St George Hall, Windsor, since the reign of George IV. . The King rests one hand on a paper lying under the Imperial Crown upon the 'Table des Grands Capitaines'; he wears Garter robes with the collars of the Golden Fleece, Guelphic Order, Bath and Garter
