About the piece
Painted around 1770 by Lemuel Francis Abbott, this oil portrait captures Sir James Eyre in his formal judicial capacity. The work is characterized by the vibrant contrast of the red robes against the large full-bottomed wig and ermine trim, reflecting the dignified status and authority of Georgian-era portraiture.
