Paintings Of An Age

Jean Le Juge And His Family is by Hyacinthe Rigaud, dating to 1699.


Here we have Sir Jeffrey Amherst, a 1768 portrait by Joshua Reynolds.


Another work by Reynolds, and of an experimental nature  that went wrong, hence the ghostly pallor. This is Charles Churchill, dating to 1755.


Portrait Of A Nobleman dates circa 1785-90, and is by Francisco Bayeu.


An unknown British painter in the latter 17th century painted this, Portrait Of Two Children.


This is Ignatius Sancho, a portrait by Thomas Gainsborough, done in 1768.
