EDITORS COMMENTS
Thomas William Coke, later 1st Earl of Leicester (of the Second Creation), is immortalized in this magnificent oil on canvas portrait by Pompeo Girolamo Batoni. Standing tall and proud, Coke exudes an air of authority and sophistication. Dressed in a lavish feathered hat and adorned with an elegant ermine stole, Coke's attire reflects his status as a prominent member of parliament during the late 18th century. His walking stick, held firmly in one hand, symbolizes both his refined taste and his role as a respected agricultural reformer. The painting captures not only Coke's distinguished presence but also showcases elements that define him beyond politics. A loyal companion at his side - a beautiful spaniel dog - represents his love for animals and companionship. The sensuous female sculpture adorning the pillars behind him hints at Coke's appreciation for artistry and beauty. As an accomplished agriculturalist, he played a significant role in revolutionizing farming practices to improve productivity. This dedication to agriculture is further emphasized by the lace collar around his neck which was made from flax grown on his own estate. This remarkable portrait serves as a testament to Thomas William Coke's multifaceted personality – politician, agriculturalist, pet lover – all captured within this single masterpiece.
