There exist three versions: this present oil painting, a contemporary version now at the Royal Society and a 19th century copy in the Collection of the National Museum of Wales. The frame was specially commissioned using funds provided by the Friends of the Library. It is a Maretti, gilded frame in a style contemporary with the painting.
