Admiral Keppel

A circular bust-length portrait of Augustus Keppel (1725–1786) facing to left in captain’s undress uniform, 1748–1767, with a black neck tie. Lettered beneath the image with the title, ‘Admiral Keppel’. This portrait is derived, in reverse, from Joshua Reynolds’s portrait of 1752–3 (see BHC2823), which was engraved in mezzotint by Edward Fisher in 1759 (see PAI5851). (Updated May 2019.)
