The Irish writer, Arthur Murphy, had a varied career, but was most famous in his time for writing numerous plays – both comedies and tragedies. Murphy was a member of the critic Samuel Johnson’s exclusive dining circle, known as ‘The Club’. This friendship led Murphy to write biographies of Johnson and the actor David Garrick. His sociability and literary interests are referenced in this portrait, which shows him looking up, as if his reading has been interrupted by a visitor.
