Portrait of a young boy and girl with their dog and puppy (by George Romney)

Summary[edit]

Description
English: George Romney (Dalton 1734 - 1802 Kendal)

Portrait of a young boy and girl with their dog and puppy

oil on canvas: 49 by 39½ in.; 124.5 by 100.3 cm.

This portrait of two unidentified children is an early example of Romney's child portraiture, painted in the mid-to-late 1760s. The older brother is young enough to still be in skirts, and the younger sister holds a puppy while the mother dog looks up longingly. This conceit was used again in Romney's portrait of The Clavering Children in the 1777.
