EDITORS COMMENTS
This striking portrait captures the intense gaze and military prowess of James Francis Edward Keith, better known as Lord Marischal and Marquis of Broughton, a renowned Scottish soldier who played a pivotal role in the Prussian forces during the Seven Years War. Born in 1696, Keith began his military career in the British Army but later switched allegiance to the Prussians, becoming a trusted advisor and commander under the great King Frederick II, also known as Frederick the Great. Keith's military expertise and leadership were instrumental in several key battles, including the Battle of Mollwitz in 1741 and the Battle of Hohenfriedberg in 1745. His successes earned him the esteem of Frederick the Great, who appointed him as a Field Marshal in 1751, making him the highest-ranking Scottish officer in the Prussian Army. The portrait, which dates back to the 18th century, showcases Keith's elegant attire, adorned with medals and insignia, reflecting his military accomplishments and status. The intricately detailed background, with its ornate frame and gilded accents, adds to the grandeur of the image. As a testament to his significant contributions to the history of the Seven Years War and the Prussian military, this portrait of James Francis Edward Keith is an essential addition to any collection of historical military art or European history.
