A distinguished 19th-century portrait of a proud captain, pictured in his naval uniform. His assured gaze meets the viewer with quiet authority, commanding attention and respect. In his hands, he holds a polished brass telescope. Every detail, from the precise tailoring of his coat to the subtle confidence in his stance, speaks to a life shaped by discipline and duty. Unsigned. Well presented in a substantial gilt frame. Acquired as a pair - the companion piece 'The Captain's Wife' is also for sale on our website (sk839). On canvas on stretchers.
