With a distinguished gaze and an air of authority, Wadham's portrait exudes power and intellect. Nicholas Wadham was not just any ordinary figure; he played a significant role in shaping history. Alongside his widow Dorothy Petre, he posthumously co-founded one of Oxford University's prestigious institutions - Wadham College. This establishment stands as a testament to their enduring legacy. The artist behind this remarkable piece remains unknown, but their skill is undeniable. Every intricate detail has been carefully etched onto paper, bringing Nicholas Wadham to life once more.
