Admiral Sir Charles Ogle, Bart. (1775-1858) entered the British Navy in 1787 and was Commander-in-Chief in North America from 1827 to 1830, and in Portsmouth from 1845 to 1858. He was made Vice-Admiral in 1830, Admiral in 1841 and Admiral of the Fleet in 1857. The miniature is encased in brass frame, with glass front and back; recto is a metal mat; verso ivory is adhered to 2 sheets of paper. A miniature virtually identical to this one was sold at Sotheby's Geneva, May 16, 1985. It is dated 1845 and is by Cornelius Durham. On this basis despite the inscribed CMB on the verso of the backing, this miniature has been attributed [by Douglas Schoenherr, May 1985] to Cornelius Durham., Miniature has also been copied under additional black and white negative numbers: C-121849 recto, in frame; C-121850 recto, support; C-121848 verso, secondary support with inscription.
