About the piece

Painted in 1737 by Marcellus Laroon the Younger, this charming oil on canvas is a classic example of the British conversation piece. The work features a gentleman in a striking blue and gold coat and a lady in a shimmering gown, rendered with the light, spirited brushwork and atmospheric interior lighting that define Laroon's theatrical and sophisticated style.
