Original - George Campbell, 8th Duke of Argyll was a Scottish peer, Liberal politician as well as a writer on science, religion, and the politics of the 19th century.
Reason
A renomination since the first nomination didn't receive much attention. A noticably more modern painting than many other recent painting noms (though again by a very notable artist) of a rather curious looking nobleman who is known for his political service and academic writings.
