Summary
Inscription: ths. baro trevor. Posuit Elizabetha Filia. Car: Due: Marlb: Conjux MDCCLVII.
Signature: l. f. roubiliac. Sculpit 1757.
This portrait shares with that of Bacon the quality of being the least interesting of Roubiliac's works at Trinity. It is, however, a dignified exercise in the Roman manner, and is so nearly contemporary with its subject that it may just possibly (like his other Romanising busts, only one of which, the Dr Mead, is posthumous) have been originally modelled from life; for though Lord Trevor died in 1753, it is to be remembered that Roubiliac had begun his work at Trinity in 1751. The Duchess of Montagu, sister-in-law of the Duchess of Marlborough to whose filial piety we owe the bust, lies under one of the most famous of Roubiliac's monuments at Warkton, Northamptonshire, with the statues of the Three Fates about her tomb; the choice of sculptor is therefore easy to understand, even if Trinity had no voice in the matter.
