George III is seen here wearing the Order of the Garter in a miniature thought to be by George Place which derives from Henry Edridge's drawing of 1803.

George Place (c. 1760-1805) was the son of a Dublin linen draper. He entered the Dublin Society Schools in 1775 and went to London in 1791. Place exhibited at the Royal Academy from 1791 to 1797. In 1798 he travelled to Bengal, India, with his wife and then established himself in Lucknow. He is said to have received between £5,000-£6,000 from the Nawab (Viceroy) to paint pictures of him and his court. His best-known work is The Battle of Laswari (1803) now in the Oriental Club, London, depicting the moment when Lord Lake's horse was killed, and his son dismounted and gave him his own charger. Place died in Lucknow in 1805.

The ribbon cartouche (scroll) is engraved: GEORGE III.
