The painting depicts John Crichton-Stuart, the 3rd Marquess of Bute (1847–1900), a Scottish nobleman, industrialist, and art patron. Created in 1895 by Sir Hubert von Herkomer, it’s an oil on canvas.
He served as Mayor of Cardiff from 1890 to 1891, the first peer in modern times to hold such a position.
