After the portrait by Sir Joshua Reynolds (Probably painted in 1776; exh. R.A., 1777, no.283, as 'Portrait of a Lady; whole length'; Mannings 104; Tate Britain, 3343). Catherine Moore married Sir Charles Bampfylde of Poltimore in Devon in 1776. Standing full-length to front, within a parkland landscape, head turned towards the left, looking slightly downwards. Left elbow rests upon a stone block to the right and right arm reaches outwards slightly. She wears an elaborate wig topped with a scarf and plait looped over her right shoulder. A string of pearls around her neck and bunched at the breast. A shawl billows around her arms over a pale gown. A stem of Madonna lilies grow in the foreground to the right.
