Darcy and Georgiana's Portraits....Reynolds?
In Response To: Picture ()

] Here's a picture of Darcy's portrait

Nice grab! I took ones of Darcy and Georgians from slightly further back, so you could see a bit more of the background. To me they look very like Reynolds' portraits. Many of his are similarly 'dark' and he often positions his sitters underneath an arch of trees. See Here for an example.
