In this formal portrait, Tomlin embodies the essence of traditional establishment in the depiction of his father in the uniform of the Privy Council. A very different character to Tomlin, as well as his usual sitters, he was a distinguished King’s Counsel and high court judge and was appointed a Law Lord in 1919 as Baron Tomlin of Ash in the County of Kent. His collar is rendered in elaborate detail to impart his status. This bust is one of Tomlin’s last works as a sculptor before he paved a new path as a ceramicist.
