"Lieutenant Lucas Webber (south Cork Light Militia)" is a notable portrait by the acclaimed Irish artist Hugh Douglas Hamilton. Painted in the late 18th century, this work exemplifies Hamilton's skill in capturing the essence and character of his subjects through his adept use of pastels and oils. Hamilton, who was born in Dublin in 1740, gained prominence for his portraits, which were highly sought after by the Irish and British aristocracy.

The subject of the portrait, Lieutenant Lucas Webber, served in the South Cork Light Militia, a regiment that was part of the broader Irish militia system established to defend Ireland during periods of unrest and potential invasion. The militia played a crucial role in maintaining order and providing military support during the turbulent times of the late 18th and early 19th centuries.

Hamilton's portrait of Webber is distinguished by its meticulous attention to detail and the lifelike representation of the lieutenant. The artist's ability to convey the texture of the military uniform, the subtle play of light on the subject's face, and the poised yet relaxed demeanor of Webber are testaments to Hamilton's mastery. The portrait not only serves as a personal likeness but also as a historical document, offering insights into the military attire and bearing of an Irish militia officer of the period.

This work is part of Hamilton's broader oeuvre, which includes numerous portraits of prominent figures of his time. His ability to capture the personality and status of his subjects has earned him a lasting place in the history of portrait art. The portrait of Lieutenant Lucas Webber remains a significant piece, reflecting both the individual it depicts and the broader historical context of Ireland during Hamilton's lifetime.
