A three-quarter-length portrait of Chaloner Ogle (1681–1750) in a brocade waistcoat, frock coat and wig, holding a telescope in his right hand. His hat rests on a stone plinth in the foreground and a naval engagement is depicted in the background. Lettered beneath the image with the title, ‘The Honble. Sr. Chaloner Ogle Knt. Rear Admiral of the Blue Squadron of His Majesties Fleet, Who, on ye 9th of March 1741, led ye Attack & took the Forts of Chambra, St Jago & St Philip, at Carthagena.’ Also lettered with the production details and publication line: ‘C. Zincke pinxt. / J. Faber fecit. / Price 2. / Sold by Faber at the Golden Head Bloomsbury.’ This print was engraved and published by John Faber the Younger after a portrait by the miniaturist Christian Friedrich Zincke in June 1741. The date of publication is confirmed by an advertisement for the print published in the ‘London Evening Post’ on 30 May 1741: ‘John Faber will publish the End of the Week a Mezzotinto Print of Sir Chaloner Ogle, Knt: from an original Picture painted in Enamel by C. F. Zinke, With a View of Sir Chaloner’s beginning the Attached on the Fort Chamba, and Vice Admiral Vernon coming up. Done from a Drawing of Mr. Peter Monamy, The Publick may be assur’d that this is the only true Print, there being no Picture but thee aforemention’d which the Hon. Lady Ogle was pleas’d to favour me with.’ The plate was later reworked as a portrait of Edward Hawke (see PAD4708). The portrait is derivative of Godfrey Kneller’s portrait of John Leake (see BHC2825), in which the sitter holds a baton of command in place of a telescope. Kneller’s painting was engraved by John Faber the Younger in 1722 (PAF3317) and Faber’s plate was reworked by Robert Tims as a portrait of Ogle in 1741 (PAF3383). (Updated May 2019.)
