Portrait of a warrant officer, ca.1790
A full-length portrait slightly to the right showing the unidentified sitter in warrant officer’s uniform (1787–1812 pattern) wearing his hat and carrying a telescope in his right hand (the telescope may suggest he is a master). He leans against a rock on his right; a ship can be seen in the left background.
