John Richard Comyns of Hylands Essex, with his daughters, 1775
EDITORS COMMENTS
. This oil on canvas print showcases a remarkable family portrait from the late 18th century. Painted by John Greenwood, an American artist known for his exquisite attention to detail, this piece captures the essence of familial love and musical passion. In the center of the composition stands John Richard Comyns, a distinguished gentleman from Hylands Essex. Surrounding him are his three beloved daughters, each adorned in elegant Georgian attire. The eldest daughter is seen skillfully playing the harpsichord, her fingers gracefully dancing across its keys. To her left stands Lucy Federica holding a delicate dove symbolizing peace and purity. On the right side of their father sits Mary Ann Comyns with her loyal canine companion by her side. The painting exudes an atmosphere of warmth and harmony as it immortalizes a moment shared during a private concert or soiree within their opulent home. It serves as both a visual record of their refined taste in music and an intimate glimpse into their cherished family bond. Now housed at Yale Center for British Art's Paul Mellon Collection in the USA, this masterpiece continues to captivate viewers with its intricate details and rich storytelling. A true conversation piece that transports us back to an era where music filled grand halls and family connections were celebrated through artistry.
