This picture was painted in Newton’s studio at Harbledown, near Canterbury. At this time he was beginning to adopt a strong use of chiaroscuro. Like Gainsborough he would darken his studio and let in a narrow light source, capturing the effects at arms length with long brushes.

Great concentration preceded the placing of any brushstroke, which was applied with great freedom and dexterity. Like Sargent, his aim was to capture the maximum with the minimum.
