关于这幅画
Angelica Kauffmann (1741-1807) was born in Switzerland and was seen as a child prodigy. She soon specialised in history and portraits paintings while in Italy (especially Florence, Rome and Naples, Bologna, Parma and Venice) she was influenced by the nascent Neo-classical style. She became a member of the Roman Accademia di San Luca at the age of 23. She arrived in London in June 1766 and remained there for 15 years before moving back to Italy with her second husband the painter Antonio Zucchi (1726-1796). In London, she was a founder-member of the Royal Academy. All her life, she enjoyed international patronage such as the family of George III in Britain, Grand Duke Paul and Price Nikolay Yusupov in Russia, Queen Caroline of Naples and Emperor Joseph II of Austria among others. She died in Rome where her funeral was arranged by the Neo-classical sculptor Antonio Canova (1757-1822).

This painting portrayed Captain Thomas Read (1762-1837) the twin brother of Sir John Read, 6th Bart. of Shipton-under-Wychwood, Oxfordshire. Very little is known about the sitter who must have been 18 year-old by the time this portrait was excuted. It is a fine example of Georgian portraiture based on the so-called "Vandyke manner" essential to British portrait painting in the age of Joshua Reynolds and Thomas Gainsborough.

与此同时，在Angelica Kauffmann的生活中
完整生平1769–1782
An annual exhibitor at the Royal Academy
From 1769 until 1782 Kauffman exhibited at the Royal Academy every year, sometimes sending as many as seven pictures, generally on classical or allegorical subjects.
1770s
Engravers reproduce her pictures
At the same time Kauffman began to work with engravers who copied her pictures for wide distribution, and she became a commercially successful artist.
1781
Returns to Rome
Disappointed by the relative apathy of the British towards history painting, Kauffman left London, where she had lived for fifteen years, in 1781, after her marriage to Antonio Zucchi, and returned to Rome, where that genre was better known and enjoyed the patronage of patrons and collectors.
1781
Married: Antonio Zucchi
after 1781
Befriends Goethe in Rome
In Rome Kauffman befriended, among others, Johann Wolfgang von Goethe.
1782
Her father, Joseph Johann Kauffmann, dies
In 1782 Angelica’s father, Joseph Johann Kauffmann (1707–1782), died; he was her first teacher of painting, and she had worked and travelled with him through Switzerland, Austria and Italy.
