About the piece

Painted by Johann Zoffany in 1762, this refined oil painting captures the famed actor David Garrick and his wife, Eva Maria Garrick, at their estate in Hampton. The work is a masterclass in the 'conversation piece' genre, depicting the couple in a relaxed pose before their classical Temple to Shakespeare, overlooking the tranquil waters of the Thames.
