A three-quarter-length portrait of Edward Boscawen (1711–1761) in a waistcoat, coat and wig, with his hat under his arm. He holds a partially rolled chart in his right hand and rests his left hand on a stone plinth. He is framed on the right by a cliff and on the left by a distant view of a ships at sea. Lettered beneath the image with the sitter’s coat of arms and the title, ‘The Honourable Edward Boscawen Rear Admiral of the Blue Squadron of His Majesty’s Fleet 1747.’ Also lettered with the production details, ‘A. Ramsay pinxt. / J. Faber fecit.’ This print was engraved in 1747 by John Faber the Younger after an oil painting by the Scottish artist Allan Ramsay (currently untraced). The inscription refers to Boscawen as rear-admiral of the blue, which was his rank from July 1747 until May 1748. (Updated May 2019.)
