Archival history
This painting dates from after his disgrace and court-martial but before he changed his name and thus this places it in the 1760's. The portrait was bought by the Elizabethan Club in 1915 and lent to the School in the same year, where it hung in the Scott Library. The identity of the subject has been questioned on account of the star on his coat, since Sackville was not a knight of any British order, but the star may be an afterthought.
