A half-length portrait to right in a feigned oval. He wears a brown silk coat and brown full-bottomed wig. Pepys' fame derives both from the private diary he kept from 1660 to 1669, which gives a unique insight into both his times and his character and from his importance as a Naval administrator over a much longer period from 1660, initially under the patronage of his cousin, Edward Montagu, first Earl of Sandwich.); © National Maritime Museum, Greenwich, London
