A three-quarter-length portrait slightly to right in a black velvet coat with a black silk shoulder knot on his right shoulder and sleeves opening from shoulder to cuff. His sword hangs from a heavily embroidered gold baldric that he holds with his right hand. He wears his own black hair and a moustache. There are russet curtains in the left background and a ship in action on the right. Apart from some service in the Mediterranean in 1660 little is known of him until, under Sandwich, he fought as Rear-Admiral of the Blue Squadron off Lowestoft in 1665. He was knighted for this service. Shortly afterwards, still under Sandwich, he went to Bergen to attack Dutch Indiamen but was beaten off, since the Dutch were assisted by the Danish shore batteries.
