About the piece
This dignified oil portrait depicts Captain Maurice Suckling, a notable naval figure and uncle to Horatio Nelson. Based on an earlier work by Thomas Bardwell, this 19th-century painting captures the intricate details of 18th-century maritime uniform, featuring ornate gold-braided trim and delicate lace cuffs against a warm, atmospheric backdrop.
