caption_attribution_description: English: My copy of a photo of period painting of John Clarke now housed in the Redwood Library in Newport, Rhode Island. "The Redwood has in its possession a portrait believed to be Dr. Clarke, titled "Portrait of a Clergyman" done by Guilliam de Ville c. 1659." Clarke died in 1676 so the painting pre-dates that date.
