| Description |  |
Lady Cockburn, aged 24, wife of Sir James Cockburn, is posed with James, aged 4, on the left, George, aged 3, on the right, and William, on her knee. Reynolds's composition was inspired by depictions of Charity, traditionally represented as a mother with children. The large macaw is the artist's pet bird, added to balance the picture.
