Portrait of Mrs James Denham by Sir Thomas Lawrence, 1789.
Here’s a great resource for 18th century portraits. Historical Portraits is a database of British historical portraiture and there are some wonderful 18th century examples among them. There’s not a huge amount but the photos are generally great and there was a surprisingly large amount of portraits I hadn’t even seen before!

Wow! This blog is wonderful. I am taking a course on 18th century literature, and we are researching the culture. I came across your blog in my research, and it has really helped me in my studies! I am recommending it to all of my classmates. Thank you!

If you have not already, you should look at the Art Renewal website: www.artrenewal.org . Many, many high quality paintings. Click on the museum and sort by artist birth date if you wish to find only 18th century painters.

Brodie, most of the portraits on this site have pretty extensive information as far as I can see so I’m not sure what you mean. Example: http://www.historicalportraits.com/InternalMain.a…
