Lady Cockburn and her Three Eldest Sons

Lady Cockburn, aged 24, wife of Sir James Cockburn, is posed with James, aged two, on the left, George, aged one, 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.
