"William Augustus 1721-65, Duke of Cumberland 1750" is an oil on canvas portrait by Swiss artist David Morier, depicting Prince William Augustus, the Duke of Cumberland. The Duke was a younger son of King George II of Great Britain and Caroline of Ansbach, and a military commander known for his role in the War of the Austrian Succession and the Seven Years' War. The portrait, created in 1750, captures the Duke in his military regalia, reflecting his status and achievements as a senior British Army officer.

David Morier (1705–1770), known for his detailed military and equestrian paintings, was commissioned by the Duke himself to produce a series of works illustrating British cavalry and infantry regiments, which has contributed significantly to the historical record of British military uniforms of the period. This particular portrait of the Duke of Cumberland is celebrated for its meticulous detail and the insight it provides into 18th-century British military dress and the iconography of power.

The painting is an important work of art for its historical context, as the Duke of Cumberland was a controversial figure, often remembered for his role in the suppression of the Jacobite Rising at the Battle of Culloden in 1746. The portrait thus serves not only as a piece of art but also as a document of the time, reflecting the complexities of the Duke's public image as both a respected military leader and a figure associated with brutal tactics.

As of the knowledge cutoff date, the painting is part of a collection that provides a rich visual history of the British military and offers scholars and the public alike a window into the aesthetics and symbolism of 18th-century portraiture. The work is frequently studied in the context of Morier's broader oeuvre and the Duke of Cumberland's life, as well as within discussions of the representation of military figures in art.
