"Sir John Houblon (1632-1711)" is an oil on canvas portrait by the German-born Baroque artist Johann Closterman, painted circa 1690. The artwork depicts Sir John Houblon, a notable English merchant and the first Governor of the Bank of England, a position he held from its foundation in 1694 until 1697. Closterman, known for his portraiture of English aristocracy, captures Houblon in a stately pose, reflecting his prominence and the esteem in which he was held in the financial and social circles of late 17th-century England.

The portrait is significant not only for its artistic merit but also for its historical value, as it provides a visual representation of a key figure in the development of the British financial system. Houblon's leadership at the Bank of England was instrumental during its formative years, and his portrait by Closterman is a testament to his legacy. The painting is characterized by Closterman's attention to detail, particularly in the rendering of Houblon's attire and the dignified expression on his face, which conveys both authority and intellect.

While the exact dimensions and current location of the painting are not specified in this introduction, "Sir John Houblon (1632-1711)" by Johann Closterman remains an important work in the oeuvre of the artist and serves as a cultural artifact from the period of England's financial institution inception. It is a valuable piece for both art historians and those interested in the history of economics in Britain.
