He also supported Napoleon and commissioned the painting <i><a href="/wiki/Napoleon_in_his_cabinet_de_travail" class="mw-redirect" title="Napoleon in his cabinet de travail">The Emperor Napoleon in His Study at the Tuileries</a></i> by Jacques-Louis David. </p><p>Lord Lamington, in <i>The Days of the Dandies</i>, wrote of him that 'never was such a magnifico as the 10th Duke, the Ambassador to the Empress Catherine; when I knew him he was very old, but held himself straight as any grenadier.

Lady Stafford in letters to her son mentioned 'his great Coat, long Queue, and Fingers cover'd with gold Rings', and his foreign appearance.
