| Description : |
Sir Richard Davies Hanson, Chief Justice of South Australia. A drawing from ST Gill's Heads of the People. Artist's caption reads "Known by his deeds". Hanson was first Attorney General of South Australia, and Premier of South Australia, 1857-1860. Samuel Thomas Gill was one of the most prolific water-colour painters working in Australia in the nineteenth century. In 1840, Gill established a studio in Adelaide and advertised for those desirous of obtaining correct likenesses of themselves, familiesor friends, animals, local scenery and residences, to contact him. He captured detailed scenes of colonial life in the streets of Adelaide and Melbourne, in the South Australian countryside and on the Victorian gold fields. Gill created a caricature folio of captioned portraits of well known Adelaideans named Heads of the people which was later published (1850). |
