Admiral Lord Keppel

An oval bust-length portrait of Augustus Keppel (1725–1786) in flag officer’s undress uniform, 1748–67, facing to right. Lettered beneath the image with the title, ‘Admiral Lord Keppel’, and the publication details, ‘J. Chapman sculp. / Publish’d as the Act directs July 1st 1800.’ This print was engraved by John Chapman. The portrait is copied, in reverse, from Joshua Reynolds’s oil painting of 1765 (see BHC2820), probably via an earlier print. (Updated April 2019.)
