The huge, magnificent work was painted in the last quarter of the 19th century by Sir Gerald Festus Kelly KCVO PRA (1879 - 1972).
It is an extremely lifelike image that portrays Major-General Clarke in a standing three-quarter length pose.
He is depicted in ceremonial uniform showcasing several prestigious chivalric orders, including the Order of the Garter (the blue sash across his chest), the Order of the British Empire (GBE), and the Venerable Order of Saint John (GCStJ).
The work is mounted within its original, huge and impressive giltwood and gesso moulded frame that is embellished with vine and leaves.
Signed in the lower left corner, Kelly.
