About the piece
Painted in 1773 by Joshua Reynolds, this masterful portrait depicts Lady Cockburn with her three young sons in a composition inspired by classical depictions of 'Charity.' Reynolds showcases his signature 'Grand Manner' style through the rich, luminous textures of the golden gown and the deep crimson drapery, while the playful inclusion of a vibrant macaw adds a unique and lively element to this dignified family scene.
