Thanks Linda, and Jimmie!
The Black Law Student Association commisioned this after seeing the first one I did for the Federal District Court in Philadelphia. Given their limited budget, at first they wanted to hang a photographic print reproduction of the first portrait, but somehow, fortunately I talked them into an original painting. Moreover, at the unveiling, the Chief Judge of the Federal Court was concerned that this second portrait of Judge Higginbotham turned out better than the one in his courtroom.
