A three-quarter-length portrait of Chaloner Ogle (1681–1750) in a velvet coat with embroidered button holes, holding a baton of command. Ogle stands on a rocky seashore with a naval engagement in the background. Lettered beneath the image with the title: ‘The Honble. Sr. Chaloner Ogle Rear Admiral of the Bleu, He commanded the division which Attackt & took the Forts St Jago & St Phillip at Carthagena.’ Also lettered with the production details, ‘G. Hicks Pinx. / Rob. Tims Fecet.’ The plate was originally engraved by John Faber the Younger in 1722 (see PAF3317) after Godfrey Kneller’s portrait of John Leake, painted in 1712 (see BHC2835). It was then reworked by Robert Tims as a portrait of Chaloner Ogle. Tims did not alter the background of the portrait, which was designed to represent Leake’s assault on the French batteries during the relief of Londonderry in 1689. However, he did change the appearance of the sitter’s face and the inscriptions underneath the image, adding his own name as engraver and that of ‘G. Hicks’ as the author of the portrait. The revised print was probably published in 1741, since the inscription refers to Ogle’s attack on Cathagena, which took place in March 1741, and describes the sitter as ‘Rear Admiral of the Bleu [Blue]’, the rank which he held until March 1742, when he was promoted to Rear Admiral of the Red.
