Portret van John Jennings 1732

This 1732 engraving by Martin Bernigeroth depicts John Jennings, an English admiral, in a portrait format. The piece, part of the Rijksmuseum collection, showcases Jennings in a formal setting, wearing a military uniform and a powdered wig. The image's small size, measuring just 146 mm by 90 mm, suggests it may have been intended for personal use or as part of a larger collection of portraits. The inscription beneath the image, "Der Englische Admiral John Jennings", confirms the subject's identity and profession, making this artwork a valuable historical record.
