About the piece
Painted in 1777 by John Francis Rigaud, this distinguished portrait captures Admiral William Parry in his naval finery. Set against a soft coastal landscape featuring a distant sailing ship, the work exemplifies the formal dignity and painterly refinement of Georgian-era maritime portraiture.
