"Portrait of Lord Robert Manners (1758-1782), Captain of HMS Resolution" is a notable historical print engraved by William Dickinson (1746-1823) after an original painting by the distinguished British artist Sir Joshua Reynolds. Published in 1783, this work commemorates the life and military service of Lord Robert Manners, a captain in the Royal Navy who served during the American Revolutionary War. The portrait is a testament to the artistic collaboration between Reynolds, a leading portraitist of the 18th century, and Dickinson, a skilled engraver known for his ability to translate paintings into prints.

The original painting by Reynolds, which served as the basis for Dickinson's engraving, captures Lord Robert Manners in his naval uniform, embodying the noble and heroic ideals of the time. Manners, a member of the British aristocracy, was the son of John Manners, Marquess of Granby, and a grandson of the 3rd Duke of Rutland. His promising naval career was cut short when he was mortally wounded during the Battle of the Saintes in 1782, a naval engagement between the British and French fleets in the West Indies.

William Dickinson's engraving not only immortalizes Lord Manners' image but also serves as a historical document reflecting the period's artistic and cultural values. The print would have been intended for a contemporary audience that esteemed the valor of military figures and the commemoration of their sacrifices through portraiture. The collaboration between Reynolds and Dickinson highlights the synergy between fine art and printmaking during the 18th century, a time when engraved reproductions played a crucial role in disseminating the works of prominent artists to a broader public.

Today, the print stands as a significant cultural artifact, offering insight into the artistic practices, social hierarchies, and historical events of late 18th-century Britain. It remains an important work for scholars studying the era's art, naval history, and the representation of military figures in portraiture.
