<p>Quote from the description at the National Portrait Gallery website:
</p>
<blockquote>
<p>This monumental painting records the 1840 convention of the British and Foreign Anti-Slavery Society which was established to promote worldwide abolition. A frail and elderly <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thomas_Clarkson" class="extiw" title="en:Thomas Clarkson">[Thomas] Clarkson</a> addresses a meeting of over 500 delegates. [...] Haydon later wrote: 'a liberated slave, now a delegate, is looking up to Clarkson with deep interest ... this is the point of interest in the picture, and illustrative of the object in painting it, the African sitting by the intellectual European, in equality and intelligence'.
