About Artwork: (1749–52) "Joseph Reade (1694–1771), the son of Lawrence Reade, settled in New York in the early eighteenth century. The younger Reade played an active role in the social, political, and business circles of the New York colony. In 1715 he was made a member of the vestry at Trinity Church, and for more than fifty years he was a vestryman or warden. He also served as a juryman and as a member of the Common Council of the City of New York. It was in the capacity of member of the governor’s council that he worked to delay the implementation of the Stamp Act in 1765. Reade died possessed of substantial holdings in minerals and ores. This portrait and that of Reade's wife (48.129.2) were probably painted during Wollaston's residence in New York between 1749 and 1752." - (The Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York)
