Summary

[edit]
Description
English: Henry Edridge, A.R.A. (Paddington 1769 - 1821 London)

Portrait of William Carnegie, 7th Earl of Northesk (1758-1831)

Pencil and grey wash, orginal wash-line mount;

signed and dated lower left: Edridge 1796

257 by 175 mm.

William Carneigie, 7th Earl of Northesk, was Rear Admiral on board the 100 gun H.M.S. Britannia and third in command at the Battle of Trafalgar. After that great victory for the British, he was promoted to Rear-Admiral of the Red. He is buried alongside Nelson and Collingwood in St. Paul's cathedral.

Edridge's sensitive handling of his subject, combined with his use of delicate washes create a subtle portrait in marked contrast to the traditionally heroic representations.
