Portrait by Joshua Reynolds.

It was as the last character in Love for Love that Sir Joshua Reynolds painted his best portrait of her.

Sir Joshua Reynolds RA FRS FRSA ( 16 July 1723 – 23 February 1792 ) was an influential 18th-century English painter, specialising in portraits and promoting the " Grand Style " in painting which depended on idealization of the imperfect.

Critics include many of the Pre-Raphaelites, and William Blake, the latter having published his vitriolic Annotations to Sir Joshua Reynolds ' Discourses in 1808.

Sir Joshua Reynolds was on very many accounts one of the most memorable men of his Time.

Never quite losing his Devonshire accent, he was not only an amiable and original conversationalist but a friendly and generous host, so that Fanny Burney recorded in her diary that he had " a suavity of disposition that set everybody at their ease in his society ", and William Makepeace Thackeray believed " of all the polite men of that age, Joshua Reynolds was the finest gentleman.

In the editorial notes of his compendium Portraits by Sir Joshua Reynolds, Hilles theorizes that " as a corollary one might say that he was somewhat lacking in a capacity for love ", and cites Boswell's notary papers: " He said the reason he would never marry was that every woman whom he liked had grown indifferent to him, and he had been < u > glad </ u > he did not marry her.
