Description
English: A half-length portrait of Sir Joseph Yorke, Admiral of the Blue, when a captain and wearing a captain's (under three years) undress uniform 1787-95. He is facing almost full-front with his head turned towards the left with his left arm outstretched. His jacket has gold braid and gold naval buttons and he wears a necktie. In the background the inclusion of the sea denotes his naval career. According to a memorial for Yorke's wife, Admiral Yorke was accidentally drowned 'by the upsetting of a boat on the 5th of May 1831.' Even in this small half-length, the pose has a dynamic tension often characteristic of Danloux's work. His best known portraits, in which this is even more apparent, are the large full-lengths of Admiral Duncan, victor of Camperdown, 1797, (now in the Scottish National Portrait Gallery) and of Admiral Lord Keith taking the Cape of Good Hope in 1796 (Bowood House, Wiltshire).
