This portrait miniature is of the Honourable John Fletcher (1787-1844). It was painted by Charlotte Deming (flourishing 1833-1874), an American itinerant miniaturist. She painted clergymen, judges and other prominent citizens in Montreal from 1844 to 1847, executing this posthumous portrait of the sitter in Montreal in 1845. John Fletcher was a lawyer, born in England, who came to Canada in 1810 and began a practice in the district of St. Francis, Quebec. In 1816 he was appointed commissioner to investigate disturbances in the Indian country. In 1823 he became a provincial judge of the district of St. Francis. He died in Sherbrooke, Quebec.
