When the National Portrait Gallery reopened in June 2023 the 'Arctic Council' portrait wasn't on display. Booo! So I arranged to visit the NPG's storage facility to view the painting there. Finally a good look at Fitzjames' portrait on the wall! Magnificent painting. #NavalHistory

Good on you for gaining access to the painting in storage. Who did you work thru to make that happen? The painting looks magnificent.

Thanks for sharing, magnificent painting and magnificent sideburns :)
