An oval bust-length portrait of Augustus Keppel (1725–1786) in profile to left wearing captain’s undress uniform, 1748–1767, and a wig. Lettered beneath the image with the title, ‘Admiral Keppel’, and the engraver’s name ‘R. Stewart del.’ The date ‘1770’ has been added in ink. This print was engraved by Robert Stewart after his own portrait of the admiral. Stewart published the print on 16 March 1779 to commemorate Keppel’s acquittal in February 1779 after a high-profile court martial at the Battle of Ushant the previous July. (Updated May 2019.)
