The Honble Admiral Keppel

An oval bust-length of Augustus Keppel (1725–1786) in profile to right, wearing flag officers’ full dress uniform, 1767–87. The portrait is surrounded by a thick oval frame, which is lettered with the sitter’s name, ‘The Honble. Admiral Keppel.’ The print is also lettered beneath the image with the title, production details and publication line: ‘Lord Keppel &c. / First Lord Commisr. Of the Admiralty. / Modelled from the Life by Tassie. / Engraved by J. Caldwall. / Publish’d as the Act directs April 13 1782 by J. Caldwall Angel Court Windmill Street Hay-Market.’ This portrait was engraved and published by James Caldwall in 1782 after James Tassie’s medallion of 1779 (see OBJ0574). This print is a later reprint, with an additional title and amended publication line, of the plate first published on 3 April 1779 (see PAD2929). (Updated May 2019.)
