Abstract: "The tall Dean of Christ Church [Cyril Jackson] and James Webber (B.D. 1807), both in academic dress, walk, right to left, and slightly towards the spectator, heads in profile. Webber expounds with extended hand, the Dean listens with grave intensity. The Dean wears a clerical wig, a cassock with sash, and high-quartered buckled shoes. The younger and smaller man has short hair, double-breasted coat, fashionable jabot, and knee-breeches, with tied shoes."--British Museum online catalogue
