The Honble Augustus Keppel

An oval bust-length portrait of Augustus Keppel (1725–1786) in captain’s undress uniform, 1748–1767, with one lapel unbuttoned. Lettered beneath the image with the title, ‘The Honble. Augustus Keppel’, and the publication line, ‘Pub. June 1 1802 by E Harding 98 Pall Mall’. This print was published by Edward Harding. The portrait is derived from Joshua Reynolds’s three-quarter-length oil painting of 1759, probably via an earlier engraving (see, for example, PAF3462). (Updated April 2019).
