Description: | Crown was a Scottish-born officer in the Russian Navy - one of many Scots who joined it in the 18th century- and a very successful one. This miniature was purchased in 1968, as Robert Crown, set in a frame (MEC3041.1) with a commemorative medal marking peace between Russia and Sweden in 1790 (MEC3041). No work has ever been done on it and since not catalogued among the other miniatures under an MNT code it eluded attention until we received the 2011 enquiry about Crown which is in the Notebook field. Assuming this is the same man, as the uniform suggests, this supplied his dates and the other information there. [PvdM 9/11]
