Portrait of George Canning is a 1810 oil by Thomas Lawrence, held at National Museum of Fine Arts, Argentina.
This portrait depicts a man in a dark coat, holding a piece of paper in his right hand. He is set against a backdrop of red drapes and a cloudy sky. The man's attire and hairstyle suggest a formal, possibly professional setting. The artist's use of oil paint creates a sense of depth and texture in the subject's clothing and the surrounding environment.
