The sitter was the elder son of the 3rd Viscount Torrington and Elizabeth, grand-daughter of Sir Peter Daniel, Kt. He married in 1765 Lady Lucy Boyle, only daughter of John, Earl of Cork and Orrery, by whom he had four surviving daughters, one being Lucy, Countess of Bradford, wife of the 1st Earl of Bradford.
