John Ray, of Black Notley, Essex, was an eminent natural historian who founded the scientific classification of plants. This bust is a plaster cast of a marble work by Louis François Roubiliac at Trinity College, Cambridge. It may be one of a series made of the Roubiliac busts in Trinity by Pellegrino Mazzotti in the 1830s.
