After 1769. Joshua Reynolds (age 45). Portrait of [her future husband] Watkin Williams-Wynn 4th Baronet (age 19) and Henrietta Somerset Lady Williams-Wynn (age 20). The couple are depicted life-size in matching black and pink Van Dyck costume, and are holding theatrical masks in a curtained architectural setting, beside a massive vase. The picture was presumably begun as a marriage portrait, although it is unlikely to have been completed prior to Lady Henrietta's death on 25 July 1769. Williams-Wynn sat for Reynolds in February 1769, his fiancée in March, and Sir Watkin once again in August. The black costume of the figures suggest that it was completed as a memorial portrait after Henrietta Williams-Wynn's death.
