  The 18th-century painter Johan Zoffany (1733-1810) was an astute observer of the many social circles in which he functioned as an artist. This catalogue investigates his sharp wit, shrewd political appraisal, and perceptive social commentary - all achieved while presenting his subjects as delightful and sophisticated members of polite society.
