Original - George Campbell, 8th Duke of Argyll was a Scottish peer, Liberal politician as well as a writer on science, religion, and the politics of the 19th century.

Reason

So many lovely portraits, so little time. A noticably more modern painting (again by a very notable artist) of a rather curious looking nobleman who is known for his political service and academic writings.

      • I think that's the painting itself, though I may be wrong. J Milburn (talk) 11:47, 16 January 2011 (UTC)
