Chief Eighteenth Justice Mansfield Murray Silhouettes Will I Am
EDITORS COMMENTS
This silhouette portrait on glass, created by the skilled hand of artist A. Forberger around 1775, immortalizes the distinguished figure of William Murray, 1st Earl Mansfield (1705-1793). Mansfield was a prominent lawyer, statesman, and Lord Chief Justice of England and Wales, serving in this esteemed position for an impressive 32 years. The elegance and sophistication of the 18th century are encapsulated in this evocative silhouette, which showcases Mansfield's striking profile against a backdrop of intricately detailed foliage. The artistry of Forberger's technique is evident in the delicate rendering of the leaves and branches, which frame Mansfield's silhouette with a sense of regal grandeur. Mansfield's impressive career began in the legal profession, where he quickly rose through the ranks to become a King's Counsel in 1746. He was later appointed Solicitor General in 1754 and Attorney General in 1756. In 1756, Mansfield was elevated to the peerage as Baron Mansfield of Mansfield in the County of Nottingham. His most notable achievement came in 1756 when he was appointed Lord Chief Justice of the King's Bench, a position he held until his death in 1793. This silhouette portrait on glass offers a unique and intriguing glimpse into the life of one of the most influential figures of the 18th century. The artistry of A. Forberger captures the essence of Mansfield's legacy, making this a must-have addition to any collection of historical portraits or silhouettes.
