Half-length portrait of Sir Henry Dale as President of the Royal Society, seated in front of a table upon which are papers, a large red-bound volume (probably intended as the Society’s Charter Book) lower right and the Society’s ceremonial George III silver inkwells. Dale wears spectacles and looks directly to the viewer. He is dressed in a grey three-piece suit with diamond patterned tie and white shirt. Immediately behind Dale is a wooden door and architectural pillar, with a framed print partially visible between the two.
