Framed and matted limited edition artist's proof lithograph on paper titled Jury of His Peers by British artist Barry Leighton-Jones. This humorous courtroom scene is rendered in the artist's signature style, depicting a group of colorfully costumed clowns acting as jurors while a sorrowful clown testifies, each character illustrated with rich expression and detail. Books in the foreground add layers of satirical wit, including titles like 1001 Loopholes and Beating the Rap with Rap. Barry Leighton-Jones was a renowned British painter and illustrator celebrated for his vivid, often whimsical portrayals of theatrical life and character studies, especially clowns. Trained at Sidcup School of Art and under the influence of traditional British humorists like Hogarth and Rowlandson, Leighton-Jones merged classical technique with a playful narrative flair. He was commissioned by Emmett Kelly Jr. to immortalize the famed clown in a series of paintings and was later licensed by the Ringling Bros. and Barnum & Bailey Circus. His work is known for bridging satire and sentiment, evoking both laughter and reflection. Pencil-signed Leighton-Jones lower right, includes a Certificate of Authenticity, and A.P. (Artist's Proof) on lower left side
