Copley, John Singleton (1738-1815)

Hugh Montgomerie, 12th Earl of Eglinton (1739-1819). Soldier; Lord Lieutenant of Ayrshire. Ca. 1780. Although painted two decades later, this portrait commemorates the sitter's service in America during the French and Indian War. Montgomerie is shown in the dress of the 77th Highlanders, the unit in which he served in America. In the background, the Highlanders have the upper hand over the falling Cherokee Indians, suggesting that the picture records their victory over the Cherokees at either Etchocy in 1760 or at War-Women's Creek in 1761. Oil on canvas, 226.3 x 148.9 cm. PG1516;2364. Purchased 1949.
