Blank greetings card with envelope featuring:

Maurice Ashley-Cooper; Anthony Ashley-Cooper, 3rd Earl of Shaftesbury NPG 5308

© National Portrait Gallery, London

by John Closterman

Closterman designed two grand portraits with Shaftesbury that convey his patron's Neo-Platonist beliefs. This one, in an idealised landscape, shows Shaftesbury with his brother Maurice gesturing towards the light of knowledge. Behind them is a classical temple dedicated to Apollo, god of the liberal arts.

Card size: 125mm x 175mm
