The portrait is thought to depict Admiral Rous, and not Ross as suggested in the catalogue.
The Hon. Henry J. Rous (1795-1877) a son of the Earl of Stradroke, was a Captain in the Navy and although he retired in 1835 he climbed up the Navy list becoming a full Admiral in 1863. He was MP for Westminster in 1841 and a Steward of the Jockey club, gaining the nickname of 'Father of the English Turf' for his introduction of reforms in racing rules.
