Sir Joshua Reynolds, 1778 - Lady Caroline Howard - fine art print

Original information about the work of art from the museum (© Copyright - by National Gallery of Art - National Gallery of Art)

Lady Caroline Howard, daughter of Frederick, the fifth Earl of Carlisle, and Margaret Caroline Howard, and niece of Lady Delmé, was portrayed by Reynolds at the age of seven.

Reynolds deliberately imposed on his compositions certain formal artistic qualities that would give them the solidity and nobility of Greek, Roman, and Renaissance art. He also liked to suggest associations in his portraits that elevate them to some level beyond the merely descriptive. Roses are symbolically related to Venus and the Three Graces, and Reynolds may well have intended to allude to their attributes, Chastity, Beauty, and Love, as ideals to which Lady Caroline should aspire.

Lady Caroline's father affectionately described his daughter as a determined, strong-minded child whose need for discipline he met fairly but reluctantly. He wrote that she was "always a great favorite," suggesting that her spirited personality made her faults tolerable. Reynolds captured some of Lady Caroline's complexity in the serious, intent expression of her attractive face, her averted gaze, and the tension implied in her closed left hand.

Important note: We try what we can to describe the products as accurately as possible and to illustrate them visually. However, the tone of the printed materials and the printing can diverge slightly from the image on the monitor. Depending on your settings of your screen and the quality of the surface, colors can unfortunately not be printed 100% realistically. Since all fine art prints are printed and processed by hand, there might also be minor deviations in the size and exact position of the motif.
