Lettering "A. Pond pinx. J. Stow sculp. Published by R. Bowyer, Historic Gallery, May 12 1794"
Portrait of Alexander Pope, resting on his left arm on a table, looking to left, wearing open jacket and neckerchief. Named in a cartouche above "Alex.Pope", cameo of Apollo below (denoted by a lyre symbol) within laurel wreath.
A well framed engraved portrait of one of the 18th Century's most famous poets, man of letters and classical translators. The print is after a portrait of Pope by Arthur Pond which, in turn, is after a prototype by Jean-Baptiste van Loo (1684-1745). The original was the last of around sixty-six oil portraits made of Pope during his lifetime and it became, through copies and engravings, one of the best known images of the poet.
See NPG D19672.
