English children, as painted by Sir Joshua Reynolds : an essay on some of the characteristics of Reynolds as a painter, with especial reference to his portraiture of children
This is a 1867 London art essay by Frederic George Stephens, published by Seeley, Jackson, and Halliday, on Sir Joshua Reynolds's portraits of children, with photographic reproductions of the paintings mounted on cream card. The plates show rosy-cheeked children in soft, shadowed settings, with a single tonal range that suits designers studying Victorian photographic reproduction of old master portraiture.
