Hugh Percy, 3rd Duke of Northumberland is a 1803 oil by Thomas Phillips, held at Fitzwilliam Museum.
The painting depicts a young man with dark hair, dressed in a black coat with gold buttons and a white cravat. He is set against a red background, with a landscape visible behind him. The subject's attire and the style of the painting suggest a formal portrait from the early 19th century. The artist's use of color and composition creates a sense of depth and dimensionality. This painting is reminiscent of the works of Thomas Phillips, who was known for his portraits of British aristocracy.
Thomas Phillips (18 October 1770 – 20 April 1845) was an English painter who specialised in portrait painting. He painted many of the notable men of the day including scientists, artists, writers, poets and explorers.
