This engraving depicts Sir John Medina (Sir John Baptiste de Medina 1659-1710), a Flemish-born court painter active in Scotland in the late 17th century. The oval framing and the balanced use of light and shadow demonstrate the late Baroque portrait tradition’s emphasis on the artist’s professional identity.
