About the piece
This 1795 oil painting by Jean-Laurent Mosnier captures Margaret Callendar and her son, James Kearney, in a sophisticated neoclassical composition. The masterful play of light on the woman's voluminous white gown contrasts beautifully with the deep reds of the curtains and the cool, atmospheric tones of the distant landscape.
