Portrait of a Boy, John Parry of Gardden (b.1777)

PARRY, William (1742-1791 William Parry trained in London under the fashionable British portrait painter Joshua Reynolds. He maintained a healthy career in Wales, thanks to the support of the Williams-Wynn family of Wynnstay. He was a friend of Thomas Jones, and the son of celebrated harpist, John Parry. Hyfforddwyd William Parry yn Llundain gan y peintiwr portreadau Prydeinig ffasiynol Joshua Reynolds. Fe lwyddodd i ddilyn gyrfa lewyrchus yng Nghymru, diolch i gefnogaeth y teulu Williams-Wynn o Wynnstay. Roedd yn gyfaill i Thomas Jones, ac yn fab i’r telynor John Parry.)

The sitter (b. 1777) was the son of the painter William Parry and the grandson of the blind harpist John Parry (~1710-1782). His mother Elizabeth was the daughter of the architect Henry Keene (1726-1776). This portrait was probably painted shortly before William Parry's second visit to Italy in 1789.
