| Historical context | This is one of a number of sketches Wilkie made recording George IV’s 1822 visit to Scotland, as the first reigning monarch to go to Scotland for 150 years. Despite changes in Wilkie’s painting style, George IV remained an admirer of his work. In 1830 he appointed Wilkie to the honourary post of ‘Painter in Ordinary to the King’ and in 1836, Wilkie received a Knighthood. |
