Drawing, Henry Robinson, Bishop of Carlisle, Cumberland,
by Robert Carlyle snr, about 1792.
Bishop Robinson kneels in the foreground, wearing clerical
robes and skullcap and supporting a staff with one arm
whilst holding a candle in his other hand. As he looks out
towards the viewer he makes the sign of the benediction.
Behind him, to right, stands Carlisle cathedral and its
associated buildings. To left are gathered a group of
agricultural workers and their flocks. An angel looks down
from above. Verses and inscriptions are scattered
throughout.
