This portrait showcases the esteemed Robert Cecil, Earl of Salisbury, in all his regal splendor. Painted by Joseph Manning around 1801-1861/1871, this watercolor on paper print is now housed at the Bristol Museum and Art Gallery in the UK. Robert Cecil was a prominent English statesman during the Elizabethan era. Known for his political prowess and influence, he served as an advisor to Queen Elizabeth I and later became Secretary of State under King James I.

The artist skillfully depicts Cecil's Northern Renaissance attire with intricate details such as his elaborate ruff collar.
