Label TextThis work is a duplicate of Kirk’s portrait of Lloyd in the collection of Trinity College, Dublin. The sitter is depicted in an informal manner, wearing an open-necked shirt that is Romantic in character. Kirk is perhaps best known for executing the statue that stood at the top of Nelson’s Pillar in O’Connell Street, Dublin.
