- A Captivating Portrait of the 9th Duke of Beaufort, Henry Somerset (1801-1851), in His Sporting Attire This evocative full-length portrait captures the essence of the 9th Duke of Beaufort, Henry Somerset, in his quintessential role as a passionate sportsman. Dressed in the height of 19th-century fashion, the Duke wears a top hat adorned with a feather, a long, double-breasted coat, and a crisp, white shirt with a cravat. His expression is one of intense focus and determination, reflecting his dedication to hunting and the great outdoors. The Duke of Beaufort, a prominent figure in English society, was renowned for his love of hare hunting and his role as Master of the Buckhounds. This image encapsulates the spirit of the Blue Riband Hunt, an exclusive hunting club that the Duke founded in 1833. The Blue Riband was known for its prestigious membership, which included many of the most influential figures of the time. The phrase "The Blue, the Fresh, the Ever Free!" inscribed on the Duke's hat is a reference to the Blue Riband Hunt's motto, which celebrates the freedom and exhilaration of the chase. The freshness of the landscape and the blue sky in the background further emphasize the connection between the Duke and the natural world. This portrait offers a glimpse into the history of the Duke of Beaufort and the Blue Riband Hunt, providing a fascinating insight into the pastime and traditions of the English aristocracy during the 19th century.
