Emma Assheton-Smith, Mrs Robert Scott of Danesfield (d.1834)
Emma Assheton Scott was the wife of Robert Scott who bought the estate of Danesfield, near Medmenham, Bucks, in 1787. Joshua Reynolds painted both Emma and her husband. Rather than drawing on classical mythology or religious symbolism to elevate his sitter, Reynolds used simple imagery to depict a faithful, beautiful wife.
