George William Joy
George William Joy (1844–1925) was a British painter perhaps best known for his depiction of the final moments of British General Charles George Gordon in a painting entitled General Gordon's Last Stand (1885). In the painting, Gordon is pictured standing before followers of the invading Mahdi army in Khartoum, Sudan, moments before being struck down by a spear. Among Joy's other works are Truth and Flora MacDonald's Farewell to Prince Charles.
