Monument to Sir Peter Warren
c.1752/3.
Monument Westminster Abbey.
North Transept
'Sacred to the Memory / of Sir PETER WARREN / Knight of the
Bath / Vice Admiral of the Red Squadron / of the British Fleet / and Member of
Parliament / for the City and Liberty of Westminster.
/ He derived his Descent
from an antient Family in IRELAND, / his Fame and Honours from his Virtues and
Abilities. / How eminently these were displayed, / with what Vigilance and
Spirit they were exerted / in the various services wherein he had the Honour to
Command, / and the Happiness to Conquer, / will be more properly recorded in
the Annals of / GREAT BRITAIN. / On this tablet Affection with truth must say /
that deservedly esteemed in Private Life / and universally, renowned for his
publick conduct, / The judicious and gallant officer / possessed all the
amiable qualities of the Friend, / the Gentleman and the Christian. / But the
ALMIGHTY / whom alone he feared; / whose Gracious Protection he had often
experienced, / was pleased to remove him from a Life of Honour, / to an
eternity of Happiness / on the 29th day of July 1752 in the 49th year of his
Age. /
SUSANNAH his Afflicted Wife caused / this Monument to be erected'

This
portrait is one of three of Warren which, according to a payment made by his
widow after his sudden death in July 1752, Hudson painted in 1751 or 1752 at a
total cost of £114.19s; this sum probably included the frames. This frame to
this portrait is of a style favoured by the artist in the 1750s and is a
somewhat gauche English translation of a contemporary French frame type.

The online photographs and information leave something to be desired.
I have tried several times over the last few years to obtain better photographs of these busts but so far with limited success.
