Portrait believed to be the Dutch Chemist Jan Baptist van He
This portrait was originally believed to be the Naturalist John Ray (1627-1705) and it was even suggested to be a portrait of Robert Hooke (1635-1703), but in recent years researchers have suggested that it is more likely to be a posthumous portrait of Jan Baptist van Helmont. Painting oil on canvas attributed to Mary Beale (1633-1699) undated. Original held at the Natural History Museum London
