專家說明

Charles Malton was the second son of Thomas Malton, Jun. (1748-1804), topographical artist. He trained as an architect with Sir John Soane (1753-1837) from 1802-1809, but the relationship between the two men is recorded as fraught and there is no evidence that Charles ever practised architecture. Thomas Malton would have known Lawrence from Royal Academy exhibitions.

Executed in the 1790s, Lawrence has depicted the little boy with dishevelled clothing and hair, echoing Gainsborough's Cottage Door, (1780), while his face and gaze are reminiscent of Reynolds's Strawberry Girl (1773).
