Portret van Edward Boscawen 1757

This mezzotint, created by James McArdell in 1757, portrays Edward Boscawen, a prominent British admiral. The artwork, currently housed in the Rijksmuseum, captures Boscawen in a formal pose against a dramatic seascape, emphasizing his naval background. McArdell's skill in capturing detail is evident in the finely rendered uniform, the textured background, and the subtle lighting that adds depth to the composition. This portrait stands as a testament to the skill of the 18th-century printmaker and serves as a historical record of a significant figure in British naval history.
