A three-quarter-length portrait of Adam Duncan (1731–1804) in admiral’s full-dress uniform, 1795–1812, with a flag officer’s gold medal for the Battle of Camperdown and the sash and star of the Russian Imperial Order of Saint Alexander Nevsky. He points towards a naval engagement in the background, representing the victory of his fleet over the Dutch at the Battle of Camperdown on 11 October 1797. The portrait is surrounded by a decorative frame, incorporating the sitter’s coat of arms at the top and the title and production details at the bottom, ‘Engraved by W. T. Mote. / Adam, First Viscount Duncan. OB. 1804. From the Original of Hoppner in The Guildhall, London.’ Also lettered with the publication line, ‘The London Printing and Publishing Company.’ This portrait was engraved by W. T. Mote after John Hoppner’s oil painting of 1798, which was presented to the City of London by the print publisher and former Lord Mayor John Boydell on 16 October 1798 to mark the anniversary of the award to Duncan of the Freedom of the City of London in recognition of his victory at Camperdown. Hoppner’s painting was based on the full-length which he had painted for the Freeholders, Justices of the Peace and Commissioners of Supply in Duncan’s native county of Forfarshire in eastern Scotland. This print was published by the London Printing and Publishing Company. It is a reprint, with the addition of a decorative border, from the plate published by Harding and Lepard in 1832 and used an illustration in Edmund Lodge’s ‘Portraits of Illustrious Personages of Great Britain’ (London: Harding and Lepard, 1834), volume 12 (see PAD3073).
