  • Lady Cockburn had six children and three stepchildren. Remarkably, her sons in this portrait became a Major-General, an Admiral and the Dean of York. Reynolds's composition recalls earlier allegorical representations of Charity, particularly two paintings by Van Dyck, one of which is now in the National Gallery.
