Painting Description
"Colonel George K. H. Coussmaker, Grenadier Guards 1782" is a notable oil on canvas portrait by the distinguished 18th-century British painter Sir Joshua Reynolds. The painting, which measures 238.1 x 145.4 cm, is part of the collection at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City. It depicts Lieutenant-Colonel George Keene Haynes Coussmaker (1759–1801), who was an officer in the British Army's Grenadier Guards.
Commissioned by Coussmaker in 1779, the work was not completed until 1782. Reynolds, who was the leading portraitist of his day and the first president of the Royal Academy of Arts, is known for his grand style and the use of allegorical elements in his portraits. In this painting, Reynolds portrays Coussmaker in a heroic manner, typical of the Grand Manner style of portraiture that Reynolds helped to popularize. The subject is shown in a military uniform, with a richly landscaped background that suggests the pastoral and serene, yet the posture and gaze of Coussmaker convey the nobility and valor befitting an officer.
The portrait is significant not only for its artistic merit but also for its representation of British military regalia and the conventions of aristocratic portraiture in the late 18th century. It exemplifies Reynolds's skill in capturing the dignity and elegance of his sitters, and it remains an important work in the study of British portraiture and the oeuvre of Sir Joshua Reynolds. The painting is also a testament to the social status and the personal ambition of Coussmaker, who sought to immortalize his image through the commission of a portrait by one of the most sought-after artists of his time.
