Description:
The sitter, in provost's robes, is placed to the left of the canvas, the space behind him being occupied by the red back of his chair. Behind his right arm are the plans of the University; the usual red drapery fills the upper background. As in the portrait of William Robertson the face is overpowerful, but it seems somewhat over-heavy for the body. The composition is, however, more satisfactory and the picture represents an advance in the development of the painters style.
