Vice-Admiral Sir Samuel Cornish, Captain Richard Kempenfelt and Thomas Parry
This eighteenth-century group portrait depicts Vice-Admiral Sir Samuel Cornish, seated on the right, issuing orders to his flag captain Richard Kempenfelt, standing on the left. Cornish’s secretary, Thomas Parry, sits between the two officers, his quill poised over a stack of papers. The setting is the admiral’s cabin in the 'Norfolk' – the ship in which the three men served in the East Indies in 1762. The painting commemorates their involvement in the capture of Manila in late September and early October that year.
