Lady Croke

by Robert Field

1808
oil on canvas
74 x 61.3 cm

National Gallery of Canada

Ottawa, ON

Field, Robertnotes
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.
