A posthumous portrait based on an unidentified source showing him three-quarter-length, wearing a buff coat lined with red over a red waistcoat, with a loose white stock. His hair, although painted as his own, long, powdered and dishevelled by wind, is probably a full-bottomed wig. His left hand rests on the fluke of an anchor, his right gestures towards the viewer. In the right background is a stormy seascape with three ships in distress, the most prominent being his flagship, the 'Mary', flying a blue ensign and his rear-admiral's blue flag at the mizzen.
