Portrait of Alexander Pope (1688-1744), poet, who spent most of his boyhood at Binfield. He rests his head on his left hand, with his left elbow on a table, and the portrait is surrounded by a circular ornate border. Below, a Classical landscape appears, in which Pope is being invited to arise and accept a laurel wreath: engraving, drawn by A. Pond and engraved by J. Koubraken, published in Amsterdam in 1747. The caption reads "Alexander Pope, Esq."
