John Flamsteed (1646–1719) is a 1725 oil by Thomas Gibson, a Dutch Golden Age work, held at Derby Museum and Art Gallery.
This painting is a portrait of a man with curly, gray hair. He is wearing a dark jacket over a white shirt with a large collar. His right hand is raised, with his palm facing his chest. The background is dark and shadowy. The man's face is serious, and his eyes seem to be looking directly at the viewer. His hair is styled in loose curls, and his jacket appears to be made of a thick, velvety material. The overall effect of the painting is one of somberness and dignity. To learn more about the artist who created this work, look up Thomas Gibson.
