Image description for Isaak Newton [Portrait of Sir Isaac Newton]

[the image described here]

A traditional oil portrait of a man seemingly in his fifties or older, perhaps with white or blonde hair (or, more likely, a wig).

White cloth round his neck hangs down his front, and has a laced finish. He wears a black buttoned jacket with high collar.

His face seems neutral, neither smiling nor frowning.

This is a reproduction of a black and white engraving made by hand in or before 1858, based on the oil painting.
