The relatively finished head of this delightful portrait, contrasted with the unfinished drapery and background, gives a fascinating insight into Reynolds's working technique. We are grateful to Dr. Martin Postle for dating the work from 1755-60, and for suggesting that the sitter may be a member of the artist's family, as yet unidentified.
