The Allied Sovereigns at Petworth is an 1817 painting by the British artist Thomas Phillips.[1] [2] It depicts the gathering of several European leaders in the Marble Room at Petworth House in Sussex on 24 June 1814 during the Allied sovereigns' visit to England following the victory over Napoleon. Petworth's owner Lord Egremont is shown being presented by the Prince Regent to Alexander I, Tsar of Russia. Frederick William III of Prussia and other distinguished guests are also shown, and in the background on either side are paintings of Charles James Fox and William Pitt the Younger, long-standing political rivals.[3]
