Thomas Elliot (c. 1770-1800) - A View of Part of the British Fleet at Portsmouth - RCIN 405170 - Royal Collection
Summary
This depicts the review of the Fleet of 1790 and includes the 'Royal William'. When this painting and its pair (RCIN 405171) were cleaned in 1968, the process revealed Thomas Elliot's signature, an artist not to be confused with William Elliott. The frame bears a contemporary dedication to Sir John Pitt, 2nd Earl of Chatham (1756-1835), First Lord of the Admiralty from 1788 to 1794.
