Footnotes

Provenance:
The Twinight Collection

The original by Thomas Phillips, dated 1805 is in the collection of The National Portrait Gallery, London (no. 1298), as is Bone's related drawing (NPG D17717) which is inscribed Marquis of Stafford after/Philips [sic]- 1820 Sepber. (R. Walker, Henry Bone's Pencil Drawings, Walpole Society, 1999, Vol. LXI, no. 493). A further enamel version by Bone signed and dated 1820 is in the collection of the Duke of Norfolk at Arundel Castle and was probably the miniature exhibited at the Royal Academy, 1821, no. 476.

Sutherland was the eldest son of Granville Leveson-Gower, 1st Marquess of Stafford, by his second wife, Lady Louisa, daughter of Scroop Egerton, 1st Duke of Bridgwater. In 1785, he married Elizabeth Gordon, suo jure Countess of Sutherland (1765-1839) being the only child of the 18th Earl of Sutherland. The couple had two sons and two daughters. He was a member of the Privy Council and Knight of the Garter. He was created Duke of Sutherland on 28th January 1833 and died on 19th July that same year.
