Charles Fitzroy, second Duke of Grafton (1683–1757) wears the robes of the Order of the Garter, to which he was appointed in 1721, and carries the wand of Lord Chamberlain, in which office he served from 1724 to 1757. Reynolds painted two full-length portraits of Grafton and two others of smaller format. This example was probably completed shortly before the sitter's death.
