2 lower.
The seated figure to the left is Sir Isaac Newton (1643 –1727 )
wearing contemporary clothing.
In his right hand he holds, as in Roubiliac’s statue of him in the Ante-Chapel of Trinity College, Cambridge,
a prism,
a reference to his work on light and his use of a prism to show that white light is a mixture of the colours of the visible spectrum.
A closed book entitled Principia (his work on mechanics) lies on the floor to his right.
The figure seated to the right is George Frideric Handel
(1685 –1759 ) wearing eighteenth-century clothing
and holding across his body part of
the vocal score of ‘I know that my Redeemer liveth’ from Messiah .

BISHOP · BUTLER · PRESENTING · THE · ANALOGY · TO · QUEEN · CAROLINE
1 .
Joseph Butler, at this time (1736 ) rector of Stanhope, County Durham, and
Clerk-of-the-Closet to the Queen Consort, presents a copy of the Analogy to Queen Caroline,
the wife of King George II and Queen Consort.
The Queen is on a throne in the foreground holding a fan in her left hand,
with her right hand extended to receive the volume proffered by Butler who is bowing before her.
Next to her is the Chamberlain.
On the left in the rear are two bishops, probably William Wake
who was Archbishop of Canterbury in 1736 and
Thomas Secker, who was later to become Archbishop of Canterbury.
