EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisite miniature portrait painting captures the distinguished visage of Mr. Barron Field, a prominent judge in New South Wales during the tenure of Governor Lachlan Macquarie from 1817 to 1824. The portrait, believed to have been painted circa 1921, showcases Mr. Field's stern yet intelligent gaze, framed by a thick, wavy mane of gray hair. His formal attire, complete with a crimson robe and white collar, signifies his esteemed position in the legal community. Mr. Barron Field played a significant role in the social and political landscape of New South Wales during the early 19th century. He arrived in the colony in 1809 as a surgeon and quickly rose through the ranks, eventually becoming a judge in 1817. His time in office coincided with the governorship of Lachlan Macquarie, who is renowned for his efforts to modernize and civilize the colony. This unattributed painting is now part of the Mitchell Library's vast collection in Sydney, Australia. The Mitchell Library, established in 1825, is the oldest and most significant cultural institution in New South Wales, housing an extensive range of materials related to the history and heritage of Australia and the Pacific. This miniature portrait of Mr. Barron Field is a testament to the rich historical legacy of the library and the important role that individuals like Mr. Field played in shaping the early history of New South Wales.
