EDITORS COMMENTS
. This print captures a moment frozen in time, transporting us back to the year 1895. Painted by the talented William Frederick Yeames, this oil on canvas masterpiece titled "Defendant and Counsel" showcases a scene from an English courtroom. The composition is rich with detail, revealing two central figures that command our attention. On one side stands a distinguished male barrister donning a traditional wig, his face etched with determination as he defends his client's case. Opposite him stands a female defendant, her expression veiled in mystery beneath an elegant hat and luxurious fur coat. Yeames expertly portrays the tension of the courtroom through his masterful use of light and shadow.
