Description
Thomas, 2nd Baron Mansel of Margam with his Blackwood Half-Brothers and Sister. This portrait was probably commissioned to commemorate the childrenââ¬â¢s mother, who had died in October 1741. To the right is Thomas Mansel. At his side are his elder half-brother Shovel and sister Mary. The youngest child, John, is seated at the left, smiling towards the viewer. Mary, who was partially sighted, places her hand over the birdââ¬â¢s breast, perhaps to demonstrate the importance to her of the sense of touch. The reddish-brown mark is part of the partridgeââ¬â¢s natural plumage.
