Head and shoulders directed to the right, head turned and looking at the spectator; very long hair which falls over the shoulders and forehead, dark tinged with grey, thick moustache and beard; full face, fresh coloured; blue eyes; dark dress or cloak, the folds of which are apparently supported by his arms and wrist. Canvas 25 in. by 21 in., inscribed in top left-hand corner, ‘Quis ignorat figura Socratem.’ Exhibited at South Kensington 1866, No. 756, and engraved for the _Leisure Hour_, November 6, 1880. Bequeathed in 1854 to University College, Gower Street, by Mr. George Field. It was in the possession of Mr. John Linnell Bond, architect to Sir E. Harvey, to whom it descended through Dr. Harvey’s second brother. The portrait is attributed to M. C. Mierevelt (1567-1641). Willis, in his _Life_ of Harvey, says, ‘The fine picture in the Museum of University College, London, is certainly not a portrait of Harvey.’ A verdict which appears correct. [Illustration: I] II ROYAL COLLEGE OF PHYSICIANS IN THE SECRETARY’S ROOM. A bust in an oval, bearing the inscription, ‘William Harvey M.D. Cam. F.C.P. 1607; aetatis suae 50 Anº. Dom. 1628.’ Harvey is represented wearing a closely-fitting jacket with long sleeves. The jacket is buttoned down the front; the buttonholes and the armholes of the sleeves are ornamented with gold embroidery. He wears a lawn collar open in front and without tassels. The hair, beard, and moustache are just becoming grizzled. In the background, on the dexter side, a table with books, and a skull upon it is seen indistinctly: on the sinister is an ‘anatomical table’ of the arterial circulation similar to that which is still in the Royal College of Physicians. The portrait is painted on a panel, and the size inside the frame is 27 in. by 21 in. It was bought in London for the College by Dr. J. F. Payne on January 19, 1909. Information kindly supplied by Mr. W. Fleming, Bedell and Secretary. [Illustration: II] III MERTON COLLEGE A bust three-quarters to the left; plain dark robe with falling collar embroidered at edge and no tassels. The face is thinner, the hair greyer, the collar is wider, and there is more hair on the chin than in the Bodleian portrait. (No. VIII.) The picture was the gift of Mr. George Hammond to the College. The portrait is ascribed to Janssen, and Mr. Roberts says, ‘it is probably a replica of a picture which has not been traced.’ Size 30 in. by 25 in. [Illustration: III] IV ROYAL COLLEGE OF PHYSICIANS HANGING IN THE DINING-ROOM OF THE ROYAL COLLEGE OF PHYSICIANS OF LONDON. A portrait of Harvey showing the head and shoulders, nearly full face but turned slightly towards the right of the spectator. He is dressed in a Doctor’s gown with a plain white linen collar without tassels. The hair, moustache, and beard are more grizzled than in No. III and he appears to be a man of about 55-58.
