About the piece
This 1859 oil painting by Abraham Solomon captures the emotional peak of a Victorian legal drama. 'Not Guilty' portrays the heart-wrenching relief of a man reunited with his wife, mother, and children after being acquitted, while legal figures and a curious crowd observe from the periphery. The work is celebrated for its masterful handling of light, texture, and human expression characteristic of British genre painting.
