EDITORS COMMENTS
This mezzotint print, created by the renowned artist Gainsborough Dupont, showcases a portrait of Sir Richard Perryn in the 18th century. Sir Richard Perryn is depicted in formal attire, adorned with a black robe and white wig, signifying his esteemed position as one of the Barons of His Majesty's Court of Exchequer and Vice Chamberlain of the County Palatine of Chester. In his left hand, he holds a black cap, a symbolic headgear worn by English, Welsh, Irish, and Northern Irish judges during criminal cases when passing a death sentence. The monochrome, black-and-white image, reminiscent of an old-world charm, transports us back to the eighteenth century, offering a glimpse into the heritage and history of Britain. The intricate details in the artist's rendering of the textures, folds, and the solemn expression on Sir Richard Perryn's face, add depth and authenticity to this work of art. This print, a testament to the rich history of law and the legal system, is a must-see for art enthusiasts and history buffs alike. The Art Institute of Chicago is proud to house this significant piece in its vast collection of prints and drawings, making it accessible for all to appreciate and learn from.
