About this work

An engraved portrait shows an elderly man in a powdered wig and long coat seated in a curved wooden chair, reading an open book with his legs crossed. A bookcase filled with bound volumes and a globe stand beside a tall window that opens onto a garden with trees. The inscription below the image gives the sitter's name and academic titles, and the work is dated 1761 with the engraver's credit.
