Half-length portrait of General Sir Lovell Benjamin Badcock Lovell (1786-1861), in huzzar uniform, an Indian camp scene behind. He holds the scabbard of his mameluke sword in one hand and his shapka in the other. Born Badcock, he assumed the surname of Lovell under royal sign manual in 1840. After fighting under General Auchmuty at Montevideo in 1807 and in the Peninsula War with the 14th Light Dragoons (being awarded the Peninsular Medal with eleven clasps, the most earned by a cavalry officer), he transfered to command the 15th Light Dragoons (later hussars). The regiment was stationed in India between spring 1840 and 1854, but in 1850 Lovell exchanged from the 15th Hussars to half pay with the 11th Hussars. He became major-general on 20 June 1854, and in 1856 was made KCB and appointed colonel of the 12th (Prince of Wales's) Royal lancers.
