This picture does not appear to represent the same person as the only certain portrait of John Aislabie. The sitter looks about thirty and the wig suggests a date c.1720. The artist would seem to be working in the tradition of Sir Godfrey Kneller but it is not possible to be more precise. More detailed information from an out-of-print National Portrait Gallery collection catalogue.
