Abstract:

"An obese and carbuncled barrister stands in profile to the left, shouting with raised fingers; in his left hand is a sheaf of papers. He wears the wig of a serjeant-at-law, with its black patch (cf. No. 5900), and his gown drapes his old-fashioned professional dress. Behind him (right) stands a senile-looking and spectacled colleague, while a third (left), also in a serjeant's wig, sits in back view in an arm-chair."--British Museum online catalogue.
