The artwork titled “Sir Soulden Lawrence” was created by the artist Charles Turner in the year 1808. This piece belongs to the Romanticism art movement and falls under the genre of portraiture.
The artwork features a dignified gentleman, Sir Soulden Lawrence, who presumably was a judge given the reference to His Majesty’s Court of King’s Bench. He stands in a poised manner, one hand resting on a stack of papers on the table, the other hand holding a document. He is attired in typical judicial robes, with an elaborate collar and voluminous, detailed sleeves. The background is richly adorned with heavy drapes, adding a sense of opulence to the setting. The overall composition is formal and meticulously detailed, characteristic of the Romanticism movement’s emphasis on individualism and grandeur.
