Tissot: The Family of Thomas Bateson
The children of the Belfast banker and merchant Thomas Bateson are depicted in the family home at Orangefield. A painting of Belfast Harbour, on the left, makes reference to the family’s wealth and trading concerns, and the portraits of King George III and Queen Charlotte confirm the family’s political allegiance. The globe suggests knowledge of global markets and international trade.
