EDITORS COMMENTS
This portrait, titled "William Parsons, 1882" showcases the distinguished figure of a man who held great significance in Nottingham's history. Painted by James Luntley in oil on canvas, this masterpiece measures 76.2x63.5 cm and is currently housed at Nottingham City Museums and Galleries. The subject of the painting, William Parsons, was an esteemed individual who served as the Mayor of Nottingham from 1863 to 1864. Dressed impeccably in his official attire, he exudes authority and elegance. His chain, pendant, medallion, and livery collar all contribute to his regal appearance. Parsons' half-length pose allows us to appreciate his dignified presence while showcasing his grey hair and white shirt with a bow tie perfectly tied beneath it. The intricate collar of esses around his neck further emphasizes his status as a functionary during the Victorian era. Luntley skillfully captures Parsons' essence through meticulous brushstrokes that bring out every detail of his face and robe. This portrait serves not only as a visual representation but also as a historical record of an influential figure within English society. As we gaze upon this remarkable artwork today, we are transported back in time to witness the ceremonial grandeur associated with mayoral duties during that period. It stands as a testament to both Parsons' legacy and Luntley's artistic prowess—a timeless piece that continues to captivate viewers with its grace and sophistication.
