See " The Public and Private correspondence of Vice Admiral Lord Collingwood 5edition pages 13 & 14 where this and the fellow portraits are described . Nelson had lost his hair from fever and wore a wig, so Collingwood made this sketch of him and in revenge Nelson made one of Collingwood with his pigtail.
