Fotoreproductie van een portret van John Milton before 1888

This is a photo reproduction of a portrait of John Milton, an English poet, essayist, and polemicist. The portrait, executed by an unknown artist, is presented within an oval frame surrounded by a decorative arrangement of roses and foliage. This decorative motif and the inscription on the opposite page of the book suggest that the artwork was created as part of a commemorative album or a biographical collection. The small dimensions of the artwork, measuring 73 mm in height and 49 mm in width, indicate its intended use as a personal or intimate object. The portrait captures Milton's likeness with a focus on his face, emphasizing his expression and the characteristic details of his appearance. This work provides insight into the visual representation of a prominent figure in English literature.
