Sir Joshua Reynolds - Francis Abington as Miss Prue in "Love for Love" by William Congreve, 1771
I love that point at which portraiture starts to be so realistic that the subjects look like real individuals with expressions we could see in modern photos, instead of the stiffer, more idealized expressions more common up to that point. The fashions are from the 18th century, but they feel like people one knows or could know.
