A portrait of Sir Francis Drake wearing the Drake Jewel at waist level. By Marcus Gheeraerts, 1591. Drake was technically the second man to circumnavigate the world, but the first one to return home from the voyage alive. 2/2 #EarlyModern National Maritime Museum, Greenwich, item no. BHC2662

A three-quarter-length portrait of Drake slightly to the left, dressed in black with a modest white ruff, wearing leather gloves and the 'Drake Jewel' of gold with enamel, rubies and a drop pearl hanging at waist level on a ribbon from his neck. He wears the Jewel cameo side out. To the left is a table covered in green velvet with a globe and, above, a coat of arms.
