[n.d. c.1696]
Mezzotint, sheet 345 x 250mm (13½ x 9¼") Trimmed to plate and laid on album paper.
Portrait of John Cecil, 5th Earl of Exeter (c. 1648–1700), shown three-quarter length, seated and leaning on a block, wearing a wig, cravat, robe, and scarf; at left is a panel carved with putti, while at right a statue of Minerva and distant trees form the background. Cecil was known as Lord Burghley until 1678, was an English peer and Member of Parliament. He was also known as the Travelling Earl, a notable Grand Tourist and filled his family home, Burghley House, with treasures purchased on his travels in 1679, 1681 and 1699. Supposedly a lay nonjuror; following the Glorious Revolution of 1688, refused to take oaths of allegiance to the new monarchs, William III and Mary II, believing the deposed James II was still the rightful king. Dutch propaganda lists Chesterfield, Clarendon and Exeter as being in arms for the Prince of Orange in 1688, which is untrue.
