This striking portrait captures the intellect and dignity of Oliver Goldsmith (1728–1774), rendered by Sir Joshua Reynolds in 1770. Goldsmith, a celebrated Irish poet and playwright, is depicted holding a book with a contemplative gaze directed towards the viewer.
Painted for the Society, of which Lord Romney (Sir Robert Marsham) was a founding member and the second President of the Society of Arts (1761–1793). The painting depicts Lord Romney in regal attire, seated at a table with two potted plants flanking him.
