EDITORS COMMENTS
This portrait captures the regal presence of William Cavendish, the 4th Earl and 1st Duke of Devonshire. Painted by renowned artist Godfrey Kneller between 1690 and 1710, this oil on canvas masterpiece measures an impressive 214.6x139.7 cm. William Cavendish was born in 1641 as the son of William, the 3rd Earl of Devonshire, and Lady Elizabeth Cecil, daughter of the 2nd Earl of Salisbury. In a union that further solidified his noble lineage, he married Lady Mary Butler in 1662; she was the daughter of the esteemed Duke of Ormond. Dressed in opulent attire befitting his aristocratic status, Cavendish stands confidently before us. His richly embroidered velvet cape drapes elegantly over one shoulder while his breeches and britches exude refinement and sophistication. A meticulously styled wig crowns his head with grandeur. The painting's composition emphasizes not only Cavendish's wealth but also his ceremonial importance within society. The full-length portrayal showcases him as a man who commands respect and admiration among fellow noblemen. This remarkable print is part of The Devonshire Collections at Chatsworth House—a testament to its historical significance and artistic value. Reproduced here with permission from Chatsworth Settlement Trustees, it offers viewers a glimpse into an era defined by privilege, power, and prestige.
