  Sadly, the detail on the uniform is not sufficient to allow even establishing a rank, so it could be any one of hundreds of officers.  I also wonder whether it is a personal portrait, made for a family member, or portrays a famous officer.  If the latter, that may increase the odds of identifying it but the only way I can think of is to search for named portraits from the period and see if you find a match.

It is a lovely thing and must have been dear to the original owner.
