The Sculptor Joseph Wilton (1722–1803), with His Wife and Daughter is a 1760 oil by Francis Hayman, a Rococo painting work, held at Victoria and Albert Museum.
This painting depicts a man, possibly a sculptor, standing alongside a woman and a young girl. The man is dressed in 18th-century attire, while the woman and child wear period-specific clothing as well. The man's posture and the presence of a sculpture in the background suggest his profession. The artist's use of color and lighting adds depth to the scene. If you're interested in learning more about the artist behind this piece, you might want to explore the work of Francis Hayman.
