About the piece
Painted in 1821 by Samuel Lane, this masterful portrait depicts Admiral Sir Edward Thornborough in his naval uniform, complete with gold epaulettes and the red sash of the Order of the Bath. The dramatic, moody backdrop and the subtle inclusion of a ship at sea evoke the sitter's long and distinguished career in the Royal Navy.
