Captain Christopher Baker, who commanded the ship Foresight in the 1588 Spanish Armada for the Royal British Fleet. The Coat of Arms and Crest represented on the portrait were granted to Baker, and his name inscribed on the picture was revealed during conservation work to remove later overpainting.
Captain Baker is shown wearing ornamental armor and stands in a pose favored for military figures. A translation of the long inscription reads: "AD 1588, in the thirtieth year of Queen Elizabeth's reign, when Lord Charles Howard, High Admiral of England, had taken the command of the Royal English Fleet, to oppose the Spanish Armada fitted out for the destruction of the English, but which was itself defeated and suffered the ruin it had threatened, I was appointed by the same High Admiral Captain of the Royal Ship called Foresight, and one of the four who under the title of Vice Admiral were to manage the fleet."
