Portrait of Frederick Robinson is an 1824 portrait painting by the English artist Sir Thomas Lawrence of the politician and member of parliament Frederick Robinson.[1] Robinson was made Lord Goderich in 1827 and succeeded George Canning as prime minister. After his short-lived administration, he later served as War Secretary and was in 1833 elevated to Earl of Ripon.[a] It is now in the collection of the National Portrait Gallery, London,[2] while a print based on the portrait is now in the British Museum.[3]
