Waterhouse, Gainsborough, London, 1958, p. 77, no. 428H. Belsey, Thomas Gainsborough The Portraits, Fancy Pictures and Copies after Old Masters, New Haven and London, vol. II, cat. no. 564, p.533, ill.Exhibited: Previously on loan to the House of Commons where it hung in the Speaker's Corridor until recently (see photograph).William Petty (1737-1805), 2nd Earl of Shelburne and 1st Marquess of Lansdowne, was a British statesman and Whig prime minister from July 1782 to April 1783 during the reign of George III. His tenure as prime minister coincided with the final months of the American War of Independence and he is considered by some to have been instrumental in securing peace with America and negotiating the borders which now define the country. However, the Whigs refused to serve under him and combined with Lord North to defeat him the following year.Petty was acquainted with Gainsborough and had met him at least a decade before this painting was executed (recorded in a letter to a Mr. William Jackson of Exeter). The artist painted two versions of this portrait in or around 1787 with one supposedly destined to be a present for King Louis XVI of France. The present and second example has been known for many years from a stipple engraving executed by Bartolozzi in 1787.For further information on this lot please visit Bonhams.com
