Adam, First Viscount Duncan OB.1804

Portrait.

A half-length portrait of Adam Duncan (1731–1804) in admiral’s full-dress uniform, 1795–1812, with a flag officer’s gold medal for the Battle of Camperdown and the sash and star of the Russian Imperial Order of Saint Alexander Nevsky. The portrait is surrounded by an octagonal border. Lettered beneath the image with the title, ‘Adam, First Viscount Duncan. OB. 1804.’ Also lettered with the production details: ‘Hoppner pinx. / Phillibrown Sc.’ This print was engraved by Phillibrown and published in the 1849 edition of Edmund Lodge’s ‘Portraits of Illustrious Personages of Great Britain’ (London: Henry G. Bohn, 1850), volume 8. The portrait is derived from John Hoppner’s oil painting of 1798 – either the full-length version in Forfar Town and Country Hall or the three-quarter-length version in the Guildhall Art Gallery.
