"Portrait of a Naval Officer, Possibly Lord Nelson" is an oil painting attributed to the English artist Lemuel Francis Abbott (1760–1802). Abbott is known for his portraits, particularly those depicting figures from the British Royal Navy during the late 18th century. This particular work is believed to have been painted around the 1790s, a period when Abbott was at the height of his artistic career and when Lord Nelson was gaining prominence for his naval victories.

The painting is a half-length portrait that features a naval officer in uniform, with various elements suggesting that the subject could be Vice-Admiral Horatio Nelson, one of Britain's most revered naval heroes. The officer is depicted with regalia that would be consistent with Nelson's rank and achievements during the time. However, the identification of the subject as Nelson is not definitively established, and the portrait remains a subject of speculation among art historians and Nelson enthusiasts.

The composition showcases Abbott's skill in capturing the dignity and character of his sitters, with a focus on the facial expression and the intricate details of the naval attire. The portrait's provenance and the context of its creation are not thoroughly documented, which adds to the mystery surrounding the painting's subject. Despite the uncertainty of its subject, the painting is an important work within Abbott's oeuvre and offers insight into the representation of British naval officers during a significant period in the nation's maritime history.

As a piece that potentially portrays Lord Nelson, the painting holds particular interest for those studying the iconography of Nelson and the ways in which his image was constructed and disseminated during his lifetime and posthumously. The portrait is a testament to the era's artistic conventions and the role of portraiture in celebrating and memorializing public figures.
