## Commentary

This full-length portrait depicts Anne, Viscountess Pollington \(later countess of Mexborough\) with her eldest son John, later 4th Earl of Mexborough. During the first decade of the 19th century, Lawrence focused much of his attention on the full-length group portrait, especially that of mothers and their offspring.
