Sir Pulteney Malcolm (1768–1838), GCB, GCMG. In 1805 a refit to his ship caused him to miss the battle of Trafalgar, although he helped with the mopping-up. Promoted to be rear-admiral on 4 December 1813, he carried a detachment of the army from Bordeaux to North America for the War of 1815. In 1816–17 he was Commander-in-chief on the Saint Helena station, ensuring that Napoleon Bonaparte remained. After being appointed vice-admiral in 1821, he was commander-in-chief in the Mediterranean 1828-1831. His final rank was Admiral of the Blue, from 1837. As this portrait was published a decade after the death of William Ward, the engraver is likely to be his son, William James Ward.
