About the piece
Painted by Thomas Uwins in 1826, this oil portrait depicts Captain Sir Charles Christopher Parker. Dressed in the formal naval attire of the period, featuring striking gold epaulettes and white lapels, the sitter is rendered with a soft, classical light that emphasizes his youthful features and steady gaze. The atmospheric, dark background creates a timeless feel typical of Regency-era portraiture.
