Oil painting of Sir Richard Hawkins, half-length turned slightly to the left but facing the viewer, wearing parade armour and with his bare right hand visible resting on a plumed helmet that he may be holding at waist height in front of him with his unseen left hand. An 'impresa' of a rock and reeds amid waves, with a Latin motto, fills the top right corner of the otherwise dark background. Son of the more celebrated Sir John Hawkins, Drake's kinsman, Richard sailed with Drake's West Indian expedition of 1585–1586, commanded the 'Swallow' in the Armada campaign of 1588 and the 'Crane' in his father's Azores expedition of 1590. He then sailed in the ‘Dainty’ as commander of a South American expedition against the Spaniards in 1593. The following year he was captured, badly wounded, at San Mateo Bay on the Pacific coast of Peru after plundering Valparaiso, and was imprisoned at Lima to 1597 and in Spain until 1602.
