Om verket
Preliminary drawing by William Kent (1685-1748) for a statue of George II in Roman armour, carrying a baton in his right hand, standing upon a pedestal on which is an inscription surrounded by a wreath supporting a crown.
Kent visited Rome in 1715 where he met Richard Boyle, 3rd Earl of Burlington who became his patron. Boyle encouraged Kent’s interest in architecture when they returned to London together and Kent soon started receiving commissions for buildings and furniture in the classical style. His most famous buildings include Holkham Hall, Norfolk, and the Horse Guards, Whitehall.
