Portrait of Captain Fenwick, his Wife Isabella Orde and his Sister Ann, c. 1746
EDITORS COMMENTS
. This portrait captures the essence of a noble family in 18th-century England. Painted by Thomas Bardwell, it showcases Captain Robert Fenwick, his wife Isabella Orde, and his sister Ann in all their regal splendor. The focal point of the painting is undoubtedly Isabella herself. Dressed in an aristocratic version of a shepherdess gown adorned with delicate flowers, she exudes elegance and grace. In her hand rests a crook garlanded with blossoms, symbolizing her connection to nature's beauty. Ann Fenwick stands beside them in an equally fanciful attire that was fashionable for portraits during this era. The sisters' dresses complement each other perfectly while highlighting their individuality. Behind Isabella stands Norham Castle, a significant part of her dowry from Northumberland. This inclusion not only adds depth to the composition but also emphasizes the couple's wealth and social standing. Bardwell masterfully portrays the familial bond between these three individuals through their poses and expressions. Their unity is further emphasized by a loyal canine companion seated at their feet. This remarkable piece exemplifies Bardwell's talent as an artist who sought new commissions beyond Norwich during the 1740s. Preserved at Laing Art Gallery in Newcastle-upon-Tyne, UK, this print allows us to glimpse into the lives of Captain Fenwick's family and appreciate the artistry that immortalized them for generations to come.
