The Beauchamp-Proctor Family and Friends at Langley Park, Norfolk

John Wootton, 1749

Norwich Castle Museum & Art Gallery, Norwich

This work depicts Sir William Beauchamp-Proctor pointing towards Langley Hall, his Palladian mansion together with his wife Jane, Jane's sister and her husband Sir Nevil Hickman. Wootton's compositions of country seats show a special sensitivity to the landscape gardening ideas of the time. The success of his country house portraits depended on his keen understanding of the relationship of the aristocracy to their estates.
