This is a 1990s poster/print by Sir Thomas Lawrence titled The Calmady Children. The Metropolitan Museum of Art. 1938 New York Graphic Society. Emily and Laura Anne were the children of Charles Calmady of Langdon Court in Devonshire. Their portrait shown at the Royal Academy and engraved under the title 'Nature' has always been one of Lawrence's most popular works. He once described it as "my best picture -- one of the few I should wish hereafter to be known by."SIZE: Approx. 17" x 20". 9" x 11" image size. Sir Thomas Lawrence (13 April 1769 - 7 January 1830) was a leading English portrait painter and president of the Royal Academy. Lawrence was a child prodigy. At one time Lawrence was more popular in the United States and France than he was in Britain, and some of his best known portraits, including those of Elizabeth Farren, Sarah Barrett Moulton (known to her family as Pinkie), and Charles Lambton (the "Red Boy") found their way to the United States during the early 20th century enthusiasm there for English portraits.
