Prince Ernest Augustus, Duke of Cumberland and King of Hanover, is a historical figure whose portrait, engraved by H.R. Cook, is a notable work of art from the early 19th century. The engraving, which dates back to circa 1835, is part of the collection at the National Portrait Gallery and is documented in volume IV of the gallery's publications. The artist, H.R. Cook, known to have been active from 1813 to 1847, captured the likeness of Prince Ernest Augustus, who was a prominent royal figure of the time, being the fifth son of King George III of the United Kingdom and Queen Charlotte.

As Duke of Cumberland, Ernest Augustus was a controversial figure in British politics before becoming King of Hanover in 1837, following the death of his older brother, King William IV. His accession to the Hanoverian throne was a result of the Salic Law, which prevented Queen Victoria, a female, from inheriting the throne of Hanover. His reign as King of Hanover lasted until his death in 1851.

The portrait by H.R. Cook is significant as it reflects the regal bearing and the importance of Prince Ernest Augustus during a period of significant political and social change in both Britain and Hanover. The engraving would have been an important means of disseminating the royal image, serving both as a work of art and as a piece of historical documentation. The publication of the portrait in the National Portrait Gallery's volume by George Lethbridge Saunders underscores its cultural and historical value, providing insight into the iconography of the period.

As a work included in the National Portrait Gallery's collection, the engraving of Prince Ernest Augustus by H.R. Cook is preserved as part of the United Kingdom's national heritage. It represents the intersection of art, history, and royalty during the early Victorian era and remains an important piece for both art historians and those interested in the period's royal lineage.
