John Milton, Age 21 (frontispiece: Paradise Regained)
Engraver Michael Vandergucht Flemish
Sitter John Milton British
Not on view
The poet is portrayed here with shoulder-length hair, his arm wrapped in a cloak, and stands before a landscape. Based on a painting once in the collection of Lord Onslow, the image was first engraved by William Marshall to serve as a frontispiece in a 1645 edition of Milton's Poems. This print copies the latter, and omits the figures originally used to decorate the corners of the frame.
