Mr Robert Thompson (c.1790 - 1857), Sheriff of Caithness, being followed by Mr Robert Hunter (1791-1871) Sheriff of Bute and Dumbarton. Two Parliamentary advocates and associates, often seen together, hence the artists reason for depicting the one following close in the wake of his fellow, instead of facing eachother.
