An etching and aquatint titled "John Knox, the Scottish Reformer," by the Scottish caricaturist John Kay, dated 1810. The image derives from a sixteenth century portrait attributed to Adrian Vanson, showing Knox with a long beard and a flat topped hat, his hands resting on a small book. Held today by the Metropolitan Museum of Art under accession 17.3.756-1166.
