	Biography
		Reynolds early aspired to become an artist, and in 1740 he was apprenticed for four years in London to Thomas Hudson, a conventional portraitist and the pupil and son-in-law of Jonathan Richardson.
		Reynolds preferred the company of men of letters to that of his fellow artists and was friends with Samuel Johnson, Edmund Burke, and Oliver Goldsmith, among others.
		Reynolds' state portraits of the king and queen were never considered a success, and he seldom painted for them; but the Prince of Wales patronized him extensively, and there were few distinguished families or individuals who did not sit for him.

		Reynolds's practice could differ agreeably from his preaching; visits to Paris in 1768 (9 September-23 October) and 1771 (13 August-6 September), the Netherlands in 1781 (24July-14 September) and Brussels in 1785 (August and September) modified his ideas, and he often took from his contemporaries.
		In 1784 Reynolds succeeded Ramsay as Principal Painter to the King, but his Royal portraits were not a success.
		Reynolds employed a number of pupil-assistants (such as Marchi from 1752, Northecote 1771-6 and Doughty 1775-8) and the frequent discrepancy between the heads and draperies of his portraits suggests a busy studio practice.

		Reynolds, the great portrait painter and President of the Royal Academy, was born near Plymouth, Devon.
		Reynolds was held by the Pre-Raphaelites to epitomise all that was bad about the Royal Academy, and they called him 'Sir Sloshua Reynolds' because they felt that all good old Academicians covered their paintings with a thick coating of brown varnish to hide mistakes and give a general warm glow to their paintings.
		The Swiss-born painter of classical mythology and portraits Angelica Kauffman spent her youth in Italy, but was persuaded to come to London by Joshua Reynolds in 1766, where she quickly established a reputation high enough that she was chosen as a founder member of the Royal Academy in 1768.

		Susanna Gale (1749-1823), daughter of a Jamaican plantation owner, was about fourteen when Reynolds painted this portrait.
		By the 1760s Reynolds usually painted his female sitters in classical drapery, but the young Miss Gale is dressed in contemporary clothes, although she is placed like a sculpture on a stone plinth in front of a classical column.
		The painting was trimmed on the right edge in the eighteenth century, the result of seawater damage after a ship captained by Susanna's husband ran aground on the northwest coast of America.
