A picture of a girl and her dog originally drawn and painted about 1775, nearly 250 years ago. During the reign of George III in England Sir Joshua Reynolds (1723-1792) became a supreme portrait painter. His grand style was unmannered, but full of human values. He infused his portraiture with sophistication, learnedness and dignity and his pictures proved popular worldwide. When he had to paint a child, he made the picture into more than a mere portrait by carefully choosing his setting. Miss Bowles with her dog depicts the touching love of the little girl for her pet. To gain the child’s confidence he visited the house to meet her. He sat beside her at dinner amusing her with stories and tricks so that she thought him the most charming man in the world. He made her look at something distant and stole her plate; then pretended to look for it; he contrived it should come back to her without her knowing how. The next day, delighted to be taken to his house, she sat down with an expression full of glee that once caught, he never lost. About the artist:Sir Joshua Reynolds (1723–92) was the first President of the Royal Academy and the leading portraitist to the British aristocracy from about 1750. In his efforts to emulate the Old Masters, Reynolds experimented with his materials, including pigments, binding medium and the use of varnish, wax and turpentine. As a result, his original canvases are now frequently cracked or faded and many have dark, blistered surfaces where the composition has become obscured.
