English: A three-quarter-length to left portrait of Saxton wearing a blue coat with silver edging, and breeches, probably his uniform as commissioner. His left hand is on an anchor fluke, while his right rests on a dress sword. He wears his own white hair.
In the left background are the main gates of Portsmouth dockyard, where Saxton was commissioner from 1789 until 1806. The royal standard on a staff commemorates a visit by King George III. |
