Lot description

Robert Barnes, RWS,  British 1840-1895-  Waiting for the Verdict;  pen, black ink, and wash on paper, signed 'R. Barnes' (lower left), 17.7 x 26 cm.  Provenance:  with Leggatt Brothers, London.  Note:  The same composition was reproduced in the 'The Graphic' on 7 December 1889, as one of two illustrations entitled 'Sketches in the Royal Courts of Justice - Admiralty Court'. The present work therefore may well be a preliminary drawing for the final print.
