About the piece
Painted in 1773, this monumental work by Sir Joshua Reynolds depicts the Montgomery sisters—Elizabeth, Anne, and Barbara—in a scene of classical allegory. The sisters are shown decorating a term of Hymen, the god of marriage, blending the elegance of high-society portraiture with the timeless motifs of Greek mythology and the dramatic lighting of the Grand Manner style.
