George I. was the tenth sovereign who sat to Kneller, and for this portrait, which was painted soon after his accession, the king made him baronet. Addison refers to it in his "Lines to Sir Godfrey Kneller on his picture of the King," beginning: "Kneller, with silence and surprise We see Britannia's monarch rise, A godlike form, by thee displayed In all the force of light and shade; And, awed by thy delusive hand, As in the Presence Chamber stand." 9 William III. when Prince of Orange (_864_) . . . . . KNELLER. Half-length, facing to the right, with his right hand extended. 10 George II. in his Old Age (_598_) . . . . . _By Shackleton, after_ PINE. Full-length; in a rich dress, with the Order of the Garter, his left hand on his sword, his right in his bosom. His eyes are cast upwards. 11 Peter the Great, Czar of Russia (_60_) . . . . . KNELLER. Full-length, in armour, with a truncheon in his left hand, and his right hand on his hip. From his shoulders hangs a mantle lined with ermine and embroidered with the double eagle. To the left is a table, on which is the crown imperial. The background, which shows some ships, is said to be signed by _W. Vandevelde_, but no trace of this exists. On canvas, 7 ft. 9 in. high, by 4 ft. 9 in. wide. There is also an inscription, of which I can only make out the words: "_Petrus Alexander Magnus Domimus Cæsar & Magnus Dux Moscouiæ ... Eques. Pinxit 1698_." Engraved by Smith.
