Pamela shows Mr Williams a hiding place for their letters is a 1744 oil by Joseph Highmore, held at Fitzwilliam Museum.
In this 18th-century painting, a woman in a white dress and bonnet stands beside a man in a black coat and hat. They are in a garden with a stone wall and a small tree. The woman's right arm is extended, and her hand is on the man's chest. To the left, another woman in a red dress is partially visible, holding a branch above her head. The scene is set in a serene outdoor setting, with the stone wall and tree adding a sense of tranquility. The woman's gesture towards the man suggests a sense of intimacy and secrecy. This painting is reminiscent of the works of Joseph Highmore.
Joseph Highmore (13 June 1692 – 3 March 1780) was an English painter of portraits, conversation pieces and history subjects, illustrator and writer.
