He was a founder member of the Royal Society in London, and was then sent to Ireland as Physician-General for the Army. While there, he produced the first complete maps of Ireland, and the atlas Hiberniae Delineatio (1685).

At the tender age of 13, he ventured to France to pursue his studies, focusing on medicine. His dedication and brilliance led him to be appointed as Professor of Anatomy at Oxford University in 1651. Sir William Petty's contributions extended far beyond the realm of medicine. As a founder member of the esteemed Royal Society in London, he played a pivotal role in advancing scientific research and exploration during the seventeenth century. However, it was his time spent in Ireland as Physician-General for the Army that truly showcased his multifaceted talents. During this period, Sir William Petty created groundbreaking maps that provided unparalleled insight into Ireland's geography. His masterpiece "Hiberniae Delineatio" (1685) remains an invaluable historical artifact today. Moreover, he delved into naval designs with visionary ideas such as floating harbors and even constructed the first-ever catamaran back in 1662. Recognizing his exceptional achievements and expertise across various fields including engineering and surveying, Sir William Petty was knighted by King Charles II in 1661. This remarkable portrait captures not only Sir William Petty's distinguished appearance but also serves as a testament to his indelible mark on English history as an accomplished physician, professor, mapmaker, ship designer, and founding member of one of science's most prestigious institutions - The Royal Society.
