Description: Luke Gardiner, 1st Viscount Mountjoy (1745-1798), in a beige, fur-trimmed coat, white stock and striped red waistcoat with the label 'Luke Viscount Mountjoy painted by Sir Joshua Reynolds This Picture given by CJG [Charles John Gardiner, 1st Earl of Blessington] to Robert Fowler Esq 1839' (on the reverse of the panel) Reynolds painted another version of this portrait; in a letter, believed to date from July 1773, he told Luke Gardiner 'I shall send away your picture (the best of the two) immediately; the other I know is to remain here. I have forgot what place it is to be sent.'
