Lawyer, Small

Caught mid-gesture, the advocate lifts his right arm with the forefinger pointing up, while his left presses an open yellow-edged volume against his side. The robe is two-toned, black outside and red within, falling open over a waistcoat patterned with blue rosettes and grey trousers. A black biretta sits on his head above a pleated white jabot. Written sheets lie scattered across the pale base, as though dropped from the file.
