Blank greetings card with envelope featuring:

Henry Purcell NPG 4994

by John Closterman

The German artist Closterman came to England in 1680. This is his only known portrait drawing, and the earliest drawing of an English composer to survive. The sketch was almost certainly taken from life and at one time belonged to the eighteenth-century musicologist Dr Charles Burney.
