A small three-quarter length portrait to left in which the sitter is wearing flag officer's full-dress uniform of 1830-43, with the red trim that only reverted to white in the 1844-56 uniform. It has not been firmly identified but appears to show Sir James Hawkins Whitshed Bt, 1762–1849. The decorations shown are the star and ribbon of the GCB, which Whitshed gained in 1830 (having been KCB from 1815) and a gold captain's medal of the sort only awarded for the great actions of the French Wars of 1793-1815. In Whitshed's case it was for his command of the 'Namur', 98 guns, at the Battle of Cape St Vincent in 1797. He was a rear-admiral by the age of 37 in 1799. After service as a flag officer in the Mediterranean and Channel he went in 1803 to be naval advisor to the viceroy of Ireland and organized Martello Towers, signalling stations and so on until 1807, when (having been promoted vice-admiral in 1804) he became Commander-in-Chief at Cork. He rose to admiral in 1810 and his last posting was as Commander-in-Chief at Portsmouth,1821-24. Whitshed became an Admiral of the Fleet on 8 January 1844 and it is possible from the full braiding of the collar that this image was done to mark that, but before the uniform change of that year. The sitter identification is supported by BHC3091, which is a posthumous oil portrait by Frederick Cruikshank, based on his own previous miniature of Whitshed. The artist of the present image remains to be identified.
