This eighteenth-century stipple engraving depicts an oval portrait of a naval officer in a Georgian uniform with a ruffled cravat, powdered wig tied with a ribbon, and ornate cuff buttons. The sepia-toned ink on paper shows detailed stipple shading creating the subject's features and clothing, set against a background featuring a sailing ship and distant mountains. Visible wear includes subtle speckling across the aged paper surface, whilst the composition is framed within a classic oval format. Measuring 30 cm high, 23 cm wide, and 2.5 cm deep, the artwork suits placement on a narrow wall space in a gentleman's library or study. It brings historical character to traditional interior schemes when hung alongside other period prints or works on paper.

FAQs

An 18th-century naval officer engraving is a copperplate or stipple print depicting a military commander in period uniform, often shown alongside a maritime backdrop.

These works were produced using ink transferred onto handmade rag paper from an etched or engraved metal plate.

Authentic period prints usually display a plate mark impression around the image boundary, age-related paper toning, and fine hand-engraved linework under magnification.

Mount the framed print within a curated gallery wall alongside contemporary line art, or display it individually in a study or hallway to create a focal point.

Display the print away from direct light under UV-filtering glass, mount it using acid-free archival materials, and maintain stable humidity levels to prevent foxing.
