An early 18th-century portrait of John Vanbrugh, by Godfrey Kneller. Vanbrugh is wearing the badge of office of Clarenceux King of Arms, a position he held from 1704 to 1725.
The painting is from about 1704–1710, when Vanbrugh was 40–45 years old. It is an oil on canvas, measuring 36x28 inches (914x711 millimeters). It is currently on display at the National Portrait Gallery in London.
It was digitized with a scanner from the cover of "Sir John Vanbrugh: A Biography", and uploaded to :en by en:User:Bishonen.
The horizontal white marks are cracks in the actual painting's varnish, not scanner artifacts.

The two-dimensional work of art depicted in this image is in the public domain worldwide due to the date of death of its author (if it is was published outside of the U.S. and the author has been dead for over 70 years), or due to its date of publication (if it was first made public in the U.S. before 1923). Therefore this photographical reproduction is also in the public domain, at least in the United States (see Bridgeman Art Library v. Corel Corp.), in Germany, and in many other countries.
