Portrait.
See PAF3551. [This is probably the same image, although the sizes differ: to be checked] PvdM 10/05
Keats (1757-1834) had a very active career in both American and French Wars and became Governor at Greenwich in 1821 as a vice-admiral, rising to admiral by seniority in 1825. When he died in 1834 his early naval friend, the 'sailor king' William IV, commissioned a bust of him by Chantrey in his memory which still stands in the Chapel (see PAI8792), paired with one by Behnes commemorating his successor as Governor (1834-39), Sir Thomas Masterman Hardy.
