	Details of Portrait of George Jeffreys Lord Jeffreys of Wem by John Riley (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-03)
		This portrait of the infamous president of ‘The Bloody Assizes’ is a small version that related directly to the full-length portrait of Jeffreys in a private collection, which depicts him seated as here, dressed in judicial robes and clutching a warrant.
		The present portrait depicts Jeffreys in the robes and chain of office of the Lord Chief Justice of England, to which he was appointed in 1683.
		It is notable fact that although Jeffreys sat to Sir Godfrey Kneller (Sothebys sale July 16th 1952) and earlier to William Claret (National Portrait Gallery, London) his patronage of the Riley-Closterman workshop conforms well to his political position as a partisan of James II.
