A half-length portrait of Adam Duncan (1731–1804) in admiral’s undress uniform, 1795–1812. Lettered beneath the image with the title, ‘Lord Vis. Duncan.’ This portrait is derived from John Singleton Copley’s three-quarter-length oil painting of 1798, now in the Scottish National Portrait Gallery. The immediate source for this print may have been Richard Earlom’s mezzotint after Copley’s painting (see PAH5452), published 1 March 1798, rather than the original canvas. (Updated June 2019.)
Technique includes etching.
