“Simplicity” by Sir Joshua Reynolds

This vintage estate piece has been part of my collection for several years. It is in the original frame and in the original condition as when I purchased it…that includes what looks to be water damage. It is said that the subject of this portrait is the granddaughter of the artist’s favorite sister and was a gift for the little girl’s father. The subject’s name was Miss Theophila Gwatkin. Soon after it was painted, It was engraved as “Simplicity” by Francesco Bartolozzi. Approximate measurements: 15” top to bottom 10.5” side to side 1” depth See pics. Ask questions. Thanks for checking out my closet.😉
