Description: | Pastel portait of Nelson, when a rear-admiral, by Johann Heinrich Schmidt. It was done at Dresden, Saxony, in October 1800 by Schmidt, who was artist to the ducal court there. It is signed and dated upper right 'Schmidt / f. 1800'. A plaque attached to the frame bears the inscription '1758 Viscount Nelson 1805 Johann Heinrich Schmidt 1749 1829'.
See Notebook field for a better description, and that for the pair which is PAJ3940, of Emma Hamilton. [PvdM 12/10]
[ Previous text stated: 'It is contained within a gilt oval mount, and a gilt frame which is decorated with elaborate decoration at the top.' that is certainly not the case, though just such an image of what may be the other version (PAD4204 is pulled through when one attempst to enlarge the thumbnail here: this needs to be resolved.
The previous entry also stated: 'The miniature is accessioned as PAJ3939. To update the catalogue and location for this object, please use PAJ3939' . This may mean there was a duplicate number, but now seem exiguous. PvdM 12/10].
