Anna Romana Wright reading by candlelight (c.1795). Joseph Wright of Derby (English, 1734-1797). Oil on canvas. National Gallery of Victoria, Melbourne.
Returning to Derby from Rome in 1777, Wright found a steady stream of portrait clients, whom he satisfied with more penetrating characterizations, more complex iconography, more subdued coloring, and, frequently, literary themes.
