This striking portrait captures the essence of Captain Peter Parker, a distinguished naval officer from the early 19th century. Painted by John Hoppner between 1808-1810, this oil on canvas masterpiece showcases Captain Parker in his full-dress uniform, exuding authority and confidence.
The attention to detail in this painting is impeccable - from the intricate buttons on his lapels to the subtle shading that brings out the contours of his face. The artist has truly captured the essence of a man who dedicated over three years of his life to serving in the navy.
Captain Peter Parker's gaze is intense yet thoughtful, hinting at a depth of character beyond just his military role. His posture exudes strength and determination, reflecting a man who was not only skilled in battle but also possessed great leadership qualities.
