James Gandon (1743-1823) architect whose works in Ireland include The Custom House, the Four Courts, King's Inns in Dublin and Emo Court.Tilly Kettle, an English artist visiting Ireland in 1783, painted Gandon's face in this large portrait, but the rest of the picture was completed by William Cuming, an accomplished Irish portrait painter. In the picture, Gandon, the English architect, appears on the roof of the Parliament House (now the Bank of Ireland) in College Green, Dublin, holding architectural plans, including those for the Four Courts. In the background, a number of Gandon's designs are visible in the Dublin skyline, including the lantern of the Rotunda Hospital, the Custom House and the Four Courts themselves. Gandon also played a part in the design of the Parliament House.
