"The Fourth Earl of Sandwich" is a pastel portrait by the Swiss-French artist Jean-Étienne Liotard, renowned for his masterful work in the pastel medium. The subject of the portrait, John Montagu, the 4th Earl of Sandwich (1718–1792), was a prominent British statesman known for his role in the expansion of the British Navy and as the eponymous inventor of the sandwich. Liotard, who was active during the 18th century, was celebrated for his detailed and lifelike portraits, and this work is no exception.

The portrait is characterized by Liotard's meticulous attention to detail and his ability to capture the textures and subtleties of his sitter's attire and complexion. The Fourth Earl of Sandwich is depicted in a dignified pose, consistent with the portraiture conventions of the time, which aimed to convey the status and refinement of the subject. The use of pastels allows for a softness and depth in the rendering of the Earl's features, setting Liotard's work apart from the oil paintings that were more commonly used for portraiture during this period.

This artwork not only serves as an example of Liotard's skill as a portraitist but also provides historical insight into the fashion and cultural milieu of the British aristocracy in the 18th century. The portrait of the Fourth Earl of Sandwich remains an important work within Liotard's oeuvre and continues to be studied for its artistic merit and historical significance.
