Stipple with very large margins, platemark 305 x 230mm (12 x 9").
Portrait of George Fox (1624 - 1691), Founder of the Society of Friends, or Quakers, aged thirty; he looks upwards, his hands raised in devotion, wearing a wide-brimmed hat and a cape.

In March 1654 (the year Honthorst is supposed to have painted the portrait from which this print is engraved) he was given an audience with Oliver Cromwell, and 'made a good enough impression for Cromwell to order the release of his guest' (DNB).
