Description: Antique print, titled: 'Sarah Dutchess of Marlborough.' - A portrait of Sarah Churchill (born Jennings in most modern references), Duchess of Marlborough (1660-1744) who rose to be one of the most influential women of her time through her close friendship with Queen Anne of Great Britain. Printed in London by J. & P. Knapton, ca. 1750.
Artists and Engravers: Made by 'Jacob Houbraken' after 'Godfrey Kneller'. Jacobus Houbraken (1698-1780) was a Dutch engraver and the son of the artist and biographer Arnold Houbraken (1660–1719), whom he assisted in producing a published record of the lives of artists from the Dutch Golden Age. He produced a great number of book-illustrations in the taste of the time. He also engraved many portraits and some prints after contemporary masters. Godfrey Kneller (1646-1723).
