Portrait of Capability Brown is a 1769 portrait painting by the English artist Nathaniel Dance-Holland depicting the landscape gardener Lancelot "Capability" Brown.
[1][2] Brown was known for promoting the English landscape garden design in contrast to the previously dominant and more regimented French landscape garden style.
Dance-Holland was a noted portraitist of the Georgian era and a founder member of the Royal Academy of Arts.
Today the work is in the collection of the National Portrait Gallery in London, having been acquired in 1989.
[3] A version of the painting is at Burghley House in Cambridgeshire where Brown did work for the Earl of Exeter over many years.
