"Richard Howe, 1st Earl Howe" is an oil on canvas portrait by the renowned 18th-century British painter Thomas Gainsborough. Painted in circa 1794, the work depicts Admiral Richard Howe, a notable figure in the Royal Navy and a peer of Great Britain. Gainsborough, one of the most prominent portrait artists of his time, was known for his unique style that combined Rococo elegance with a more realistic approach to his subjects.

The portrait of Earl Howe is a testament to Gainsborough's skill in capturing the dignity and character of his sitters. Richard Howe served with distinction throughout his naval career, playing a significant role in the Seven Years' War, the American War of Independence, and the French Revolutionary Wars. His leadership in the Glorious First of June, a naval battle in 1794, earned him widespread acclaim and the gratitude of the British nation.

In the portrait, Gainsborough portrays the Earl in his admiral's uniform, adorned with the insignia of his rank and orders. The artist's use of light and shadow, as well as his loose brushwork, contribute to the sense of vitality and presence in the painting. The work is not only a representation of Earl Howe's physical likeness but also an embodiment of his reputation as a steadfast and courageous leader.

The painting is part of a rich tradition of British portraiture and serves as an important historical document, reflecting the social and political climate of the late 18th century. It is held in a public collection, allowing viewers to engage with a piece of Britain's naval heritage and the artistry of Thomas Gainsborough. The portrait of Richard Howe, 1st Earl Howe, remains a significant work in the oeuvre of Gainsborough and a valuable piece of cultural history.
