A three-quarter-length portrait to the left in a sleeveless leather jerkin over a buff coat, heavily barred with gold down the length of the sleeves. He wears the ribbon of the Garter, a pink sash around his waist, and a collar and cuffs made of Flemish bobbin lace. He holds a baton in his right hand, his right arm rests on an anchor fluke and his left hand is on his sword belt. The background is of rock on the right and a dramatic sky beyond on the left. After fighting for Charles I in the Civil War and being captured, in 1650 Monck went with Cromwell in his Scottish campaign, by which time he was an eminent soldier in the Parliamentary service. In 1652 he was one of the three officers appointed as Generals-at-Sea, though he had no previous sea experience.
