Admiral Sir George Anson, 1st Baron Anson (1697-1762), c.1700 (oil on canvas)
7337824 Admiral Sir George Anson, 1st Baron Anson (1697-1762), c.1700 (oil on canvas) by Reynolds, Joshua (1723-92) (style of); 128.2x101.8 cm; National Maritime Museum, London, UK; (add.info.: Creator: style of Joshua Reynolds
A three-quarter-length portrait to the right showing Sir George Anson in flag officer's full dress uniform, 1748-1767, wearing a white, physical wig. In the background at right are visible the yachts of the squadron he commanded, which brought Princess Charlotte to Britain in 1761. Sir George Anson is best remembered for his rather fraught circumnavigation of 1740-1744. He also secured victory over the French at the first battle of Finisterre in 1747 and, proved a very able naval administrator as First Lord of the Admiralty during the Seven Years War. This painting is one of a group left to Greenwich Hospital by Admiral Sir Hugh Palliser, Governor of Greenwich Hospital, in 1796. The NMM Concise Catalogue lists it as style of Reynolds and it is probably safe to consider it a studio copy. According to Mannings catalogue raisonne 2000, the painting is a competent, rather smooth copy of a lost original.); © National Maritime Museum, Greenwich, London

His white periwig adds an air of sophistication to his commanding presence.
