About the piece
Painted by William Owen in 1817, this formal portrait depicts Admiral Sir Edward Pellew, the 1st Viscount Exmouth, in full naval uniform. Adorned with various military honors and a distinctive red sash, the subject is shown in a resolute stance against a dramatic, atmospheric background characteristic of 19th-century British maritime portraiture.
