Portret in buste van de Vlaamse schrijver Hendrik Conscience (1812-1883). Geïnspireerd door het schilderij 'De Guldensporenslag' van Nicaise De Keyser publiceerde de jonge Conscience in 1838 zijn roman 'De Leeuw van Vlaenderen'. Van 1857 tot 1868 was Conscience arrondissementscommissaris van Kortrijk. Ditzeer waarheidsgetrouw portret van Hendrik Conscience door Hendrik De Pondt werd geschilderd naar een foto van omstreeks 1870 – een courante praktijk, waarvoor echter vele kunstenaars niet openlijk uitkwamen.
