About this Event
Join us at the Samuel Johnson Birthplace Museum for Portraits in Focus, a fascinating tour led by Sarah Dale that delves into the remarkable 18th-century portraits currently on display. Through close observation and engaging storytelling, Sarah will bring these works to life, exploring who the sitters were, the artists who painted them, and the intriguing personal and historical stories behind each portrait. This tour offers a unique opportunity to look beyond the canvas and gain deeper insight into the people, artistry, and society of the 18th century.
