Charles Goodall (1642–1712) was described as ‘second to none’ among the physicians of his day. He took very seriously new methods of natural history for exploring diseases and their remedies, making a special effort to investigate cinchona bark and the tree from which it came. He became president of the Royal College of Physicians in 1708 until his death, devoting his life to its service and working to strengthen the RCP’s authority in the early eighteenth century.

Goodall was born in Sufffolk and studied medicine at Cambridge University. The portrait was painted around 1690–1700, possibly by Thomas Murray.
