About the piece
Painted by Lemuel Francis Abbott around 1797, this oil on canvas captures Rear-Admiral Sir Robert Calder in a moment of quiet authority. The work features the luminous rendering of the subject's face and gold epaulettes, set against a classic dark background with a subtle oval vignette, characteristic of the era's prestigious naval portraiture.
