George IV is an 1821 portrait painting by the English artist Thomas Lawrence portraying George IV, the reigning monarch of the United Kingdom.[1] George is depicted in the robes he wore for his Coronation in July 1821. Lawrence was Britain's pre-eminent portrait painter and had previously depicted George on a number of occasions during the Regency era before he came to the throne in succession to his father George III in 1820. Lawrence had recently been elected to succeed Benjamin West as President of the Royal Academy

George has designed the coronation robes himself, and commissioned the painting from Lawrence for the throne room where it still hangs today as part of the Royal Collection.[2] The following year he posed for a more informal painting by Lawrence which is now part of the Wallace Collection.[3]
