About the piece
Painted in 1781 by the renowned Joseph Wright of Derby, this grand portrait depicts the Synnot siblings—Marcus, Walter, and Jane. The work is a superb example of the artist's ability to capture texture and light, seen here in the shimmering silk garments and the soft, atmospheric glow filtering through the trees, creating a scene of refined childhood innocence.
