James Cambell (also sometimes Campbell) was elected President of the Court of Governors of St Thomas’s Hospital in 1626 and served until his death. He left a significant legacy to the hospital. Cambell was elected Sherriff of London in 1619 and Alderman of Billingsgate ward in 1620. He was elected Lord Mayor of London in 1929 and was knighted in 1630. In this three-quarter length he wears ermine robes, ruff collar and holds a pair of gloves. This portrait was engraved by George Glover and published in 1642 by Peter Stent.
