FRANCIS COTES R.A 1726 – 1770
Three quarter length portrait of Sir Robert Pigot (1720-1796), in the uniform of the 38th Regiment, holding his tricorn hat in his right hand, and leaning on his left arm on a mound of earth, pointing to a fort in the background. Painted circa 1765
Oil painting on canvas 50 x 40 inches (56 x 46 inches framed size) and contained in its fine original carved and giltwood Georgian fame.
Provenance: by family descent from the sitter at Patshull, Staffordshire, and subsequently Yarlington Lodge, Wincanton, in the family of the Pigot baronets until the present

Gentleman's Magazine. 1804, i 480 (obituary of the sitter)
Dated by Johnson to 1758-62. However, the Col. Pigot is wearing the uniform of the 38th Regiment of which he became Colonel on 4th February 1765. (Information from Jenny Spencer-Smith, of the National Army Museum). A dating to c.1765 is thus preferable.
