The Bodleian Library at Oxford contains a portrait of William Harvey ascribed to J. Wollaston. It is a bust, three-quarters to left; long grey hair, brushed back off the forehead, grey moustache and tuft on chin; face deeply lined; white falling collar with tassel; black gown; painted in an oval spandrel. A canvas 30 in. by 25 in. Given to the University by Humphrey Bartholomew of University College in 1735 in his set of eight doctors. The portrait is similar, but not exactly so, to a mezzotint by McArdell. (Catalogue of Oxford Portraits. Compiled by Mrs. Reginald Lane Poole, vol. i, p. 51, No. 126, Oxford, 1812.) |
