This charming small folk art painting by british artist matt rix depicts an 18th-century admiral in full uniform, rendered in a wonderfully naive style that evokes the rustic charm of early portraiture. The admiral is shown wearing a deep blue jacket adorned with gold epaulets and buttons, along with a crisp white neck tie. His expression is calm and dignified, with piercing blue eyes and neatly styled grey hair, capturing a sense of stoic pride and naval heritage.
the background is painted in a dark, moody tone, allowing the figure to stand out prominently and lending the piece a sense of quiet drama. The portrait is housed in a hand-painted brown frame, which is lined with antique papers — a unique and thoughtful detail that enhances its vintage appeal. The piece comes ready to hang, making it a perfect addition for collectors of maritime art, folk portraiture, or eclectic period-inspired interiors.
it measures approximately 21cm x 16cm overall.
