William Ewart Gladstone

Portrait of William Ewart Gladstone is an 1879 portrait painting by the British artist John Everett Millais. It depicts the politician William Ewart Gladstone who served as Prime Minister four times. It was one of a series of portraits of leading figures Millais produced during the era, including his Portrait of Benjamin Disraeli featuring Gladstone's political rival. The work was initiated by Millais himself, rather than being commissioned and was then bought for a thousand pounds by the art dealer William Agnew who sold it ten days later to the Duke of Westminster.
