This 1741 hand-colored engraving by Jacobus Houbraken portrays Henry Boyle, 1st Baron Carleton, PC, an Anglo-Irish Whig politician who sat in the Irish House of Commons from 1692 to 1695 and in the English and British House of Commons between 1689 and 1710. Shown within an elaborate cartouche, Boyle is depicted alongside symbols of authority and wealth, including a ceremonial mace and scattered coins. Commissioned for the Earl of Burlington’s collection, this finely detailed engraving reflects Houbraken’s skill and the enduring legacy of Boyle’s political career. 29.5in tall; 22in wide; 1in deep
