The Hon Mrs Theresa Parker
Sir Joshua Reynolds (after) 1723 - 1792
Summary
Portrait after Reynolds of Theresa Parker, nee Robinson (1745-1775); whole-length, standing directed to front, head turned in profile to right, leaning with her right elbow on a pedestal bearing a large urn, her left hand on her right arm; hair high and curled, a robe over her dress; a woodland landscape behind with stream to right. The sitter was the wife of one of Reynolds' oldest friends and patron, John Parker of Saltram near Plymouth (where the picture still hangs).
