Portrait of George III is a 1771 portrait painting by the German-born British artist Johan Zoffany.[1] It depicts the reigning British monarch George III.[2][3]

The painting was displayed at the Royal Academy Exhibition of 1771 held in Pall Mall, London. Commissioned by either George or his wife, Queen Charlotte, it was hanging in Kensington Palace in 1790 but by 1819 had shifted to the Dining Room at Buckingham Palace. It remains in the Royal Collection.[4]
