Pencil inscriptions on the recto and verso identify the sitter as John Medley (1804-1892), the first Anglican (Church of England) Bishop of Fredericton, New Brunswick. He was instrumental in the construction of Christ Church Cathedral (Fredericton) which was built between 1846 and 1853 to the neo-Gothic plans of British architects Frank Will and William Butterfield. The painting by John Bridges shows the cathedral in the background as a tribute to his effort. The painting is at Wadham College, Oxford University, and is on extended loan to Christ Church Cathedral, Fredericton until 2003.
