The Family of Henry Chorley, Haberdasher of Preston, c. 1680
EDITORS COMMENTS
. This oil on canvas painting captures the essence of a prominent family from the 17th century. The Chorleys, led by their patriarch Henry Chorley, were known for their successful haberdashery business in Preston, Lancashire. In this portrait, we see the entire family gathered together in a grand setting. Each member is meticulously depicted with great attention to detail and expression. The sons - John, Josiah, Joseph, Samuel and Daniel - stand proudly alongside their father while holding Bibles symbolizing their strong Puritan beliefs. Ellin Chorley radiates grace and elegance as she stands beside her husband. Her presence adds a touch of femininity to this otherwise masculine composition. The painting also pays homage to the family's religious affiliations as it features a portrait of a Presbyterian minister who was an influential figure in their lives. Measuring at an impressive 135.2x181 cm, this artwork showcases not only the artistic talent of the English School but also serves as a historical record documenting the life and status of prosperous families during that era. Currently housed at Harris Museum and Art Gallery in Preston, Lancashire; this masterpiece continues to captivate viewers with its rich colors and intricate details. It serves as a timeless reminder of one family's legacy and contributions to society during the 17th century England.
