About the piece
Painted by British artist George Beare in 1747, this double portrait captures a poignant intergenerational moment. The elderly woman is depicted with quiet dignity in a finely detailed lace cap and damask gown, while the young girl holds a delicate bouquet of roses, adding a touch of youthful brightness to the rich, moody composition.
