Description: | Robert Morse is shown playing the cello; his sisters Anne Francis and Sarah are seated at the harpsichord and Sarah's husband, William Cator, stands on the right. This picture was painted in India, although the formal trappings of the setting are conventionally British. The fine costumes and elegant interior reveal an age of gracious living. Robert Morse was Advocate of the Supreme Court and Sheriff of Calcutta from 1783- 1784. As the portrait was painted in India, it is very likely that this occurred at some point in these two years. | Subjects: | portrait (Morse and Cator family); everyday life; interior | Source: | Vads | Creator: | Artist: Zoffany, Johann (German painter, 1733-1810, active in England) Æ | Identifier: | http://www.vads.ac.uk/large.php?uid=9196... | Go to resource |
