Abbott, Lemuel Francis (c.1760–1802). English portrait painter. All his pictures are of male sitters; his clientele included many naval officers and he is best known for his portrayals of Lord Nelson, of whom he did several portraits with slight variations (1797–8). In 1798 Abbot was declared insane, and some of his unfinished works were completed by other hands.
