Sir John Popham, Speaker of the House of Commons, 1580–1583, seen three-quarter-length, standing. In his right hand he holds his gloves, he is wearing black cap over white coif, narrow ruff over circular white fur collar and judges' scarlet and white fur robes. Once asked by the Queen after a long and fruitless session in the House of Commons chamber, 'Now, Mr Speaker, what hath passed in the lower house?' he replied, 'If it please, Your Majesty, seven weeks'. The portrait's inscription on the top left corner reads; '1600 Aet. 68'.
