This is probably a copy after the portrait of Commodore Augustus Keppel described as 13 in O'Donoghue, which is a mezzotint by an anonymous printmaker after the portrait in oils by Sir Joshua Reynolds (1752; National Maritime Museum, Greenwich), half length, looking to the right. Scratched lettering at lower right: 'M.Y. Darly Ext', relates to the print publisher, Mary Darly. Open letters engraved at lower centre: 'COM.E KEPPEL'. An inscription written in brown ink at lower right: 'born abt. 1725'. On the verso, handwritten inscriptions in graphite: '1/4 of 3'; '_734_'. Two lines of handwritten text in brown ink (possibly the same hand as on recto): ' [...] William Pitt as asked the [?glory] of our / during his illustrious administration'. A note in the British Museum's on-line biography of Darly states that, 'Most plates signed M.Darly as publisher seem to be hers', indicating that Mary Darly may also be the printmaker in this case. title: print LICENSING --------- text license status: CC0 image license status: CC-BY-NC-SA OWNERSHIP --------- instutition: The Fitzwilliam Museum department: Paintings, Drawings and Prints creditline: unknown STABLE URL ---------- url: https://data.fitzmuseum.cam.ac.uk/id/object/225419 TECHNIQUES ---------- etching CATEGORIES ------ category: print DATING ------ creation date: 1752 - 1752 creation date earliest: 1752 creation date latest: 1752 culture: 18th Century CREATORS -------- maker: Unknown maker: Darly, Mary maker: Reynolds, Joshua
