專家說明

The children depicted in the present portrait are three of the four children of Lieutenant-General John Robinson (d. 1798) and his wife Rebecca, née Clive, eldest daughter of Major-General Clive (1725-1774), known as Clive of India. The portrait most likely passed into the Walpole family as a result of the marriage between Margaret Clive (1768-1814) and Lambert Theodore Walpole (1757-1798).
