Portrait of Lord Palmerston is an 1845 portrait painting of the British politician and Prime Minister Lord Palmerston by the artist John Partridge. Along with Partridge's Portrait of Lord Melbourne and a painting of Lord Aberdeen the painting was likely done in preparation for the artist's work The Fine Arts Commissioners.[1] [2] Today it is in the collection of the National Portrait Gallery in London having been acquired in 1896.[3]
