EDITORS COMMENTS
In this portrait, we are transported back to the Georgian era as we witness the close bond between Richard Moretan, Esq. of Tackley and his beloved nephew and niece, John and Susanna Weyland. Painted by Arthur Devis in 1757, this oil on canvas masterpiece now resides at the Sterling and Francine Clark Art Institute in Williamstown, Massachusetts. The scene unfolds amidst a picturesque countryside setting, with a serene river landscape serving as the backdrop. Richard Moretan sits regally in traditional costume, donning a tricorn hat that adds an air of sophistication to his presence. Seated beside him are his charming young relatives - John holding onto a fishing rod while Susanna looks on with curiosity. This conversation piece captures not only their familial ties but also showcases the beauty of traditional dress during that time period. The children's innocence is evident through their wide-eyed expressions and playful demeanor. As we gaze upon this group portrait, it becomes clear that family bonds transcend time. The love shared between uncle and niece/nephew is palpable even centuries later. This painting serves as a timeless reminder of the importance of kinship and connection within our lives.
