The Honorable Henry Fane (1739-1802) with Inigo Jones and Charles Blair. Artist: Sir Joshua Reynolds (British, Plympton 1723-1792 London). Dimensions: 100 1/4 x 142 in. (254.6 x 360.7 cm). Date: 1761-66.
Seated at the center with his greyhound is the Honorable Henry Fane, second son of the eighth earl of Westmorland. To the left is Inigo Jones, a relative of the celebrated architect, and to the right Charles Blair, Fane's brother-in-law. Although shown in a landscape, each of the three men would have sat for Reynolds separately, in his studio. Reynolds's largest and most impressive conversation piece, this canvas was begun in 1761 and completed in 1766.
