O capitão George K. H. Coussmaker

1782
On view at The Met Fifth Avenue in Gallery 628
Coussmaker tornou-se parte do Primeiro Regimento de Guardas de Infantaria como porta-estandarte e tenente, em 1776. Mais tarde, foi promovido a tenente-coroneln e, em 1795, saiu do exército sem nunca ter participado de uma ação militar. Em 1782, Reynolds deixou registro de vinte e uma sessões de pose com este jovem e talvez até oito sessões para pintar o cavalo. A jornalista Fanny Burney descreveu Coussmaker como um homem tímido e quieto, mas bem educado. O retrato foi pintado com grande liberdade e flexibilidade, no melhor estilo de Reynolds e aparentemente sem a ajuda dos assistentes do ateliê do pintor.
