A three-quarter-length portrait to right wearing a black doublet, buff breeches, steel gorget and white collar. A gold medal inscribed with a ship hangs round his neck on a black ribbon. His left hand rests on a gun barrel and his right arm is crooked, hand on hip, with a commander's baton hanging from the gloved hand. In the right background an action with an English ship has been depicted. The original portrait was painted in 1652 to 1653 and was well known from an engraving. Tromp commanded the Dutch fleet in all the principal actions of the First Dutch War against the English, 1652–1654. In 1653, he was killed in the final Dutch defeat off Scheveningen. This portrait was presented to the Naval Gallery at Greenwich Hospital in 1833 by its founder, Edward Hawker Locker, Secretary and a Commissioner of the Hospital, one of a number of gifts he made to it.
