"Portrait of The Right Hon. Robert, Lord Lexington" is a distinguished painting attributed to the English School, a term used to describe a group of artists active in England during the 17th and 18th centuries who were not necessarily part of a formal academy but were known for their distinctive style and contributions to British art. The portrait captures Robert Sutton, 1st Baron Lexington (1662–1723), a prominent English diplomat and politician during the late Stuart and early Georgian periods.

Robert Sutton was elevated to the peerage as Baron Lexington in 1693 and served in various diplomatic roles, including as an envoy to Vienna and Madrid. His political career was marked by his involvement in significant events of the time, such as the War of Spanish Succession and the Treaty of Utrecht. The portrait is believed to have been commissioned to commemorate his status and achievements, reflecting the customs of the era where portraits were often used to signify power, influence, and social standing.

The painting is executed in the characteristic style of the English School, which often emphasized realism, attention to detail, and a focus on the sitter's attire and surroundings to convey their status and personality. Lord Lexington is depicted in formal attire, indicative of his noble status, with a composed and dignified expression that suggests his role in high society and governance.

The background and setting of the portrait are relatively understated, drawing attention to the figure of Lord Lexington himself. This approach is typical of the period, where the emphasis was placed on the individual rather than elaborate backgrounds. The use of light and shadow in the painting highlights the textures of the fabrics and the contours of Lord Lexington's face, showcasing the artist's skill in rendering lifelike representations.

"Portrait of The Right Hon. Robert, Lord Lexington" remains an important work within the context of British portraiture, offering insights into the fashion, culture, and political landscape of early 18th-century England. It is a testament to the enduring legacy of the English School and its role in documenting the history and personalities of the time through the art of portraiture.
