<p>George Beaumont is better known as a patron of the arts than as a painter. He was instrumental in founding the National Gallery and a leading taste-maker of the time – he famously disliked JMW Turner’s paintings. Although Beaumont was not a professional painter, this picture shows his ambitions. It depicts Jacques, a character in Shakespeare’s play As You Like It. By using a literary subject, Beaumont may have intended to elevate the picture to the realm of serious art.</p><p><em>Gallery label, October 2019</em></p>
