5919874 Lieutenant General Lord W C Bentinck, 1813 (stipple engraving) by Breitner, Georg-Hendrik (1857-1923); National Army Museum, London; (add.info.: Lieutenant-General Lord W C Bentinck, 1813.
Stipple engraving by H R Cook after Sir Thomas Lawrence, published by P Martin, 1 February 1813.
Bentinck (1774-1839) was haunted by the disgrace which had overtaken him in 1806, when, as Governor of Madras, he had been held partly responsible for the bloody mutiny at Vellore. His period as Commander-in-Chief (1833-1835) and Governor-General in India (1827-1835) is memorable for his record of social reform and willingness to confront the military over the A battaA (field allowance) question.); eNational Army Museum; Dutch, out of copyright

EDITORS COMMENTS
This stipple engraving, titled "Lieutenant General Lord W C Bentinck, 1813" showcases the distinguished figure of Lieutenant-General Lord William Cavendish Bentinck. Created by Georg-Hendrik Breitner in 1857-1923, this print is housed at the National Army Museum in London. The portrait depicts a resolute and noble-looking Bentinck, capturing his essence as a military leader and statesman. The artist skillfully translates the subject's commanding presence onto paper through intricate stippling techniques. Lord Bentinck's life was marked by both triumphs and challenges. Haunted by the events of 1806 when he served as Governor of Madras during a bloody mutiny at Vellore, he carried this disgrace with him throughout his career. However, it was during his tenure as Commander-in-Chief from 1833 to 1835 and Governor-General in India from 1827 to 1835 that he truly left an indelible mark. Notably remembered for his commitment to social reform and willingness to confront military issues such as the controversial A battaA (field allowance) question, Lord Bentinck demonstrated great determination and leadership during his time in India. This exquisite engraving not only captures Lord William Cavendish Bentinck's physical likeness but also serves as a testament to his enduring legacy as an influential figure in British history.
