About the piece

This masterful 1786 portrait by Sir Joshua Reynolds depicts Jane, Countess of Harrington, with her sons, the Viscount Petersham and the Honorable Lincoln Stanhope. Reynolds employs the 'Grand Manner' style, utilizing dramatic red drapery and an expansive sky to elevate the family scene into a work of timeless elegance and status. The luminous treatment of the white dresses contrasts beautifully with the deep, moody tones of the surrounding environment.
