- Abstract
-
"Erskine stands directed to the right, a sheaf of papers in his right hand, his left held out in a declamatory gesture. He wears a long gown over a black tunic and sash, with a broad white collar. His advocate's wig has a red patch on the crown of his head. His shoes have bunches of tricolour ribbons. He stands on a flagged floor facing a part of the floor paved in black and white, where the judges may be presumed to sit; their presence is indicated by heavy cast shadows. The wall is pilastered."--British Museum online catalogue.
