Description
No. 223. The Attorney-General (Denman) and the Solicitor-General (Horne), both in wig and gown, walk side by side in profile to the left, Denman with a brief-bag in his left hand. They are of the same height; their attitude, with head slightly bent, is identical, and their profiles resemble each other though that of Denman is more aquiline and more sharply cut. Both have the same grave stern expression.
