About the piece
Commissioned in 1789, this grand-manner portrait by the celebrated artist Gilbert Stuart depicts Baron FitzGibbon, the Lord Chancellor of Ireland. The work is a masterclass in texture, from the heavy gold-embroidered silk of his judicial robes to the soft, powdered wig and the luminous, atmospheric background typical of the late 18th-century elite style.
