Francis Smuglewicz lived in Rome between 1763 and 1784, where he was educated and worked. It was in the eternal city, around 1780, that the Scotsman James Byres commissioned him to paint a family portrait. The painting, executed in oil, depicts five figures. To the left of the canvas are James Byres and his sister Isabella. In the central part of the painting can be seen two figures, who are the commissioned artist's parents, while on the right is placed his partner, Charles Norton.
