"Portrait of Charles, 2nd Duke of Grafton (1683-1757), full-length, in Garter robes, holding a wand of office, beside a table on which rests his coronet" is a significant work by the French painter Jean Baptiste van Loo (1684–1745). This imposing portrait captures Charles FitzRoy, the 2nd Duke of Grafton, in the full regalia of the Order of the Garter, reflecting his high status and the political power he wielded in early 18th-century Britain. As a full-length portrait, it offers a detailed representation of the Duke, showcasing the luxurious fabrics and symbols of his office, which include the Garter robes and the wand of office, indicative of his role within the chivalric order and his proximity to the royal court.

The painting is notable for its grandeur and the skill with which van Loo has rendered the textures and materials of the Duke's attire, as well as the likeness of the sitter. The inclusion of the coronet on the table beside him further emphasizes his nobility and the hereditary nature of his title. Jean Baptiste van Loo, a member of the van Loo family of painters, was renowned for his portraits of European aristocracy and his ability to capture the elegance and dignity of his subjects.

This work is an important example of van Loo's portraiture and contributes to our understanding of the visual culture and hierarchical structures of the 18th century. It serves not only as a testament to the Duke's personal legacy but also as a piece of historical evidence of the period's artistic and social conventions. The portrait would have been commissioned to assert the Duke's status and to ensure his legacy within the annals of his family and the nation. As such, it remains a valuable piece of cultural heritage, reflecting the intersection of art, politics, and society in the Georgian era.
