Description: | Oil on canvas. There is some doubt over the artist of this portrait of Henry St John, First Viscount Bolingbroke, a Tory politician, diplomat and writer. An engraving of the portrait, which is reversed, was produced by printmaker Simon Ravenet (1706-1774). However, the lettering on the print does not reveal the artist’s name. | Subjects: | 1st Viscount Bolingbroke wig Henry St John 18th century costume male portrait viscount writer diplomat coat man | Temporal: | c.1735; 1715/1755 | Source: | Government Art Collection | Creator: | Charles Jervas | Identifier: | http://www.gac.culture.gov.uk/work.aspx?... | Go to resource |
