JeffS,
I see your location listed as 'Singapore'. You mention this painting was found in your sister's basement. Was it found in Singapore? If so, what were the circumstances that would bring a 19th century painting of a subject dressed in 18th century Scottish fashion to 21st century Singapore?

Currently in Ohio! It is still a mystery though...

And here is a painting of said ‘George IV’ by David Wilkie (1829), to highlight the great similarity in pose and regalia .
