A compelling oil-on-canvas portrait attributed to E.F. Cazneau, this 19th-century English School work captures the solemn dignity of a barrister seated in black robes with clerical bands. His steely gaze, composed posture, and resting hand convey the gravitas of the legal profession at a time when portraiture served as both record and reverence.

The sitter, anonymous yet archetypal, is rendered with remarkable softness and restraint. The brushwork subtly articulates the folds of fabric and the pallor of aged skin, offering a quiet depth of character. The carved giltwood frame with ornate detailing complements the somber richness of the composition.

Professionally restored with some details left untouched. Presents with minor craquelure and minor paint losses consistent with age.
