Description: | Engraving . This three-quarter length engraved portrait shows Lloyd Kenyon as Master of the Rolls. The original painting, on which this engraving is based, was exhibited at the Royal Academy in 1789 and at the South Kensington Museum (now the Victoria and Albert Museum) in 1867. Today, it remains on display at Gredington Hall, the sitter’s family estate.
When this print was engraved by John Fittler, mention of the sitter’s appointment as Chief Justice and the arms of Lord Kenyon combined with those of his wife (first cousin Mary Kenyon) were added below the image. | Subjects: | 1st Baron Kenyon wig legal costume Privy Counsellor Lord Chief Justice of England male portrait table quill armchair Attorney General Master of the Rolls judge coat of arms Chief Justice of the King's Bench ink pot/ink stand Lloyd Kenyon Member of Parliament | Temporal: | 1789 | Source: | Government Art Collection | Creator: | John Opie (Artist) | Identifier: | http://www.gac.culture.gov.uk/work.aspx?... | Go to resource |
