"Portret van John Flavel" is an engraving by Michiel van der Gucht, created between 1670 and 1725. It depicts a bust portrait of John Flavel, a prominent English Nonconformist minister. The portrait is framed in a decorative oval, with a Latin inscription below reading “Etatis sue 61. Anno Dom 1691.” This signifies that Flavel was 61 years old when the portrait was made, in the year 1691.
