Description
After Sir Joshua Reynolds, PRA,
British 1723-1792-
Joanna Leigh, Mrs Richard Bennett Lloyd, inscribing her name on a tree;
pencil and watercolour on paper, inscribed 'J R Shg 69' (lower left), 40 x 24.8 cm.
Note: A 19th-century copy by an unidentified hand after the original in oils, held at Waddesdon Manor, Buckinghamshire [103.1995]. Joanna Leigh, later Lloyd, was the co-heiress, along with her four sisters, of the rich merchant John Leigh of Northcourt House, Isle of Wight. She married Richard Bennett Lloyd of Maryland in 1775. He came from a wealthy family who owned tobacco plantations and served as an English soldier in the Coldstream guards between 1773-1775. In 1773, the couple had their portraits painted in London and Richard was painted by the celebrated American artist Benjamin West (1738-1820). Reynolds shows Joanna carving her husbands name on a tree, a literary reference to Shakespeare's 'As You Like It', a popular play at the Drury Lane theatre. The motif also occurs in two Italian epic poems of the 16th century: Ariostos 'Orlando Furioso' and Torquato Tassos Gerusalemme Liberata'.
