Considering it is owned by the Buckinghamshire County Museum—not exactly one of the most famous in the world—there are quite a few different images of it online. Just Google the words John Morgan jury in Google image search and they’ll pop right up. The fun part is that it appears to be a real jury! See the excellent article on the painting and the artist at www.coulborn.com/furniture-categories/notable-sales/morgan/. (I think my favorite juror is the deaf one.)
all have info about this artist, perhaps in addition to what’s pointed to by the first URL. Many internet references to him have his life span incorrect as (1823-1886). That is what the 2nd artist info URL has as its title and the last in its filename; but, both texts correctly say he was born in 1822, and the last that he died in 1885. This is the first work by him used here.
