As for little-known aspects, it is known that Ramsay had to make several preliminary sketches and studies to achieve the desired composition and effect in the painting. Furthermore, it is believed that King George III was very pleased with the end result and that the painting was very popular in his time.

In short, Portrait of George III is a work of art that stands out for its artistic style, composition, color, and the story behind it. Ramsay manages to capture the essence of Rococo in this painting, and his technique and skill as a painter are evident in every detail of the work.
