Captain William Hall is a 1792 oil by Johann Zoffany, a Rococo painting work, held at Ashmolean Museum.
The painting features a man dressed in a black coat with gold buttons, paired with a white shirt and a white cravat. He is holding a navigational instrument, possibly a sextant or an octant, in his left hand. The background of the painting is a dark red curtain. The man's attire and the navigational instrument suggest that he is a naval officer. The painting's style and the subject's clothing indicate that it was created in the 18th century.
