Lady Croke by Robert Field 1808 National Gallery of Canada Ottawa, ON | Field, Robert | Alexander Croke (1758-1842), vice-admiralty judge in Halifax from 1801 to 1815, is portrayed in the wig and scarlet robe that were standard attire for a judge of the King's Bench. The artist has captured the sitter's air of authority and his rather solemn countenance, a contrast to the gentle expression of Lady Croke (1775?-1857), born Alice Blake. | |
