There are two sets of servant portraits at Erddig and this is one of the first set. Individual portraits of servants are not uncommon, but the sets at Erddig, which established a tradition later carried on in the form of photographs, may be unique. The first set was painted in the 1790s for Philip Yorke I, who wrote and published the 'Crude-Ditties' accompanying them. The second set was painted for his son and successor, Simon Yorke II, who never had himself portrayed.
