John Dryden n.d.

This engraving, "John Dryden", was created by Jean-Baptiste de Grateloup in the 18th century. The artwork depicts John Dryden, an English poet, playwright, and literary critic, in a three-quarter profile bust portrait. He is dressed in a cloak and has his right hand near his chest. The image is set within a decorative frame with a label at the bottom identifying the subject as "J. DRYDEN". This engraving, now in the Art Institute of Chicago, provides a glimpse into the art of portraiture during the 18th century.
