Légende

The Late Lord Jeffrey, 1850. 'The author of "Sketches of the Scottish Bar" has portrayed Lord Jeffrey as "of low stature; but his figure, which he tried to set off to the best advantage, was elegant and well-proportioned. His features were continually varying in expression, and were said to have baffled our best artists. The face was rather elongated, the chin deficient, the mouth well-formed, with a mingled expression of determination, sentiment, and arched mockery. There was the most peculiar feature of the countenance; it was large and sparkling, but with a want of transparency".' From "Illustrated London News", 1850.
