About the piece
This formal oil portrait, painted in 1806 by Antoine Toussaint de Chazal, captures the steady gaze of Captain Matthew Flinders. The work highlights the refined details of his Royal Navy uniform, with its golden epaulettes and polished buttons providing a sharp contrast to the dark cloth and the muted, atmospheric background.
