Richard Pigott, 1889. A captivating caricature by Sir Leslie Matthew Ward captures the essence of Richard Pigott (1835-1889), an influential Irish Nationalist and Journalist. Published in Vanity Fair in 1889, this vibrant print showcases Pigott's commanding presence as he stands confidently in a law court setting. Pigott's distinguished appearance is highlighted by his well-groomed beard and monocle, symbolizing his authority and intellect. Clutching a quill pen with precision, it is evident that writing was not just a job for him but rather a passionate profession. His bearded countenance exudes wisdom acquired through years of journalistic experience. The watercolour technique employed by Ward adds depth to the illustration, allowing us to appreciate the intricate details of Pigott's facial features and attire. The use of color further enhances our understanding of his Irish heritage and nationalist sentiments. Positioned against a dock backdrop, this print hints at Pigott's connection to Ireland - a country dear to his heart. As one person standing tall amidst others within the courtroom, he commands attention with both his physical stature and intellectual prowess. This artwork serves as a testament to Pigott's significant contributions as an author and journalist during the 19th century. It immortalizes him as an emblematic figure within Irish nationalism while also capturing the spirit of investigative journalism that defined his career. The print collector who preserved this remarkable piece ensures that future generations can admire Sir Leslie Matthew Ward’s master
