From the album: Realistic pirate art
This is close enough to fit into Pirate art category. He is an English admiral from early decades of the 18th century. He is dressed in fine gentleman gear with fine three-cornered hat with feathers. He has a fine red/violet coat with decorative seam stitches with gold colored cloth. Waistcoat, gentleman’s breeches and sash as well as socks and fine shoes are there too. He has a small- sword but its long blade is not fully visible. Like usually this in heavily based on period evidence. Mostly circa 1703 picture of “English admiral at sea” (http://www.britishmuseum.org/collectionimages/AN00476/AN00476504_001_l.jpg ). That image was made by Dutch artist Caspar Luyken and he made it for his book presenting people’s costumes at the time. Also other gentlemen’s gear and admiral’s and navy captain’s portraits were used too. Like these two: http://collections.rmg.co.uk/collections/objects/14222.html http://collections.rmg.co.uk/collections/objects/14278.html
