"Portret van Richard Steele" is an engraving by Dutch artist Wouter Jongman, created between 1712 and 1744. The artwork depicts Richard Steele, an Irish writer, politician, and soldier, in an oval frame. Steele is shown wearing a hat and a coat with buttons, and the engraving features intricate details in the background and the subject's clothing.
