EDITORS COMMENTS
Captain John Clayton Cowell (1762-1819) is depicted in this striking oil on canvas painting, attributed to Sir William Beechey, around 1796. Dressed in the uniform of the 1st Battalion, 1st (or the Royal) Regiment of Foot, Cowell is shown in a full-length pose, reaching for his sword in a classical interior setting. The regiment's distinctive red jackets, adorned with dark blue facings and gold lace, are prominently displayed. Born in 1762, Cowell began his military career by being commissioned into the 99th Regiment of Foot in 1783. Following its disbandment in 1784, he was placed on half pay and then exchanged into the 1st Regiment of Foot in 1787. In 1801, with the rank of lieutenant-colonel, Cowell commanded four companies of the regiment during the capture of the Danish-held West Indian Island of St Thomas. He retired from the Army in 1802. The painting captures the essence of a confident and experienced military leader, with the guardsman behind adding a sense of security and stability. The classical interior setting further emphasizes the regiment's discipline and order. This portrait is a testament to Cowell's military accomplishments and his dedication to serving his country.
