The story of Lady Elizabeth Delmé and Her Children
Lady Elizabeth Howard, third daughter of the 4th Earl of Carlisle, sat to Reynolds with her children John and Isabella Elizabeth in April and June 1777. Reynolds alluded to the Madonnas of Raphael in the triangular grouping and to Rembrandt and Titian in the brown tones of the background. He was paid 300 pounds in 1780. The painting was given to the National Gallery of Art in 1937.

Sir Joshua Reynolds
Sir Joshua Reynolds was an English painter who specialised in portraits. The art critic John Russell called him one of the major European painters of the 18th century, while Lucy Peltz says he was "the leading portrait artist of the 18th-century and arguably one of the greatest artists in the history of art." He promoted the "Grand Style" in painting, which depended on idealisation of the imperfect. He was a founder and first president of the Royal Academy of Arts and was knighted by George III in 1769. He has been referred to as the 'master who revolutionised British Art.'
