Summary:
John Bell, K.C., walks in profile to the left across a cobbled space, leaving a Gothic building, a corner of which is on the right. He wears wig and gown and holds a brief-bag. His humped shoulders, short broad figure, with gown touching the ground, give him some resemblance to a (lop-sided) bell. There is a background of trees and grass behind an iron railing.
