EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the renowned English novelist, Samuel Richardson, seated with his second family. Painted by Francis Hayman on an oil canvas, this masterpiece measures 76.2x101.6 cm and is currently held in a private collection. In the portrait, we see Richardson surrounded by his loved ones. To his left sits his wife Elizabeth, accompanied by their youngest daughter Sarah as well as Anne, Martha, and Mary. On the right side of Richardson stands Miss Elizabeth Midwinter (later known as Lady Gosling), who was residing with the family during that period. The composition beautifully captures a moment of familial warmth and intimacy. The daughters are depicted engaging in conversation while holding dolls—a charming detail that adds to the overall charm of the painting. As for Richardson himself, he exudes paternal pride and affection towards his children. This group portrait not only immortalizes a beloved writer but also provides insight into domestic life during that era. It serves as a testament to both Richardson's literary achievements and his role as a devoted father. With its rich colors and meticulous attention to detail, this painting is truly an exquisite example of a conversation piece—an artwork designed to spark dialogue among viewers about various aspects of life captured within it. As we admire this remarkable image from Fine Art Finder's collection courtesy of Bridgeman Images, we are transported back in time to witness the harmonious bond shared between Samuel Richardson and his second family—a timeless portrayal of love and kinship through artistry.
