This fine portrait is a rediscovered, rare early work by Sir Joshua Reynolds.

Having shown an early interest in art, Reynolds was apprenticed in 1740 to the fashionable London portrait painter Thomas Hudson, who had been born in Devon.

He spent 1749-52 abroad, mainly in Italy, and set up practice in London shortly after his return. He soon established himself as the leading portrait painter. When the Royal Academy was founded in 1768, Reynolds was elected its first President.

Sir Joshua Reynolds, P.R.A. (1723-1792), Portrait of Mrs Connock. Estimate £30,000-50,000.
