This miniature portrait, painted by an unknown artist, is of the first three children of James Caldwell 1759-1838 and his wife Elizabeth Stamford 1754-1831.  It would have been painted around 1790.  It is likely that this artist painted a group, as there is also known a portrait of their aunt Hannah Stamford painted and framed presumably at the same time.  Both frames have red leather to the rear.

These three children were:

• Hannah Eliza Roscoe (nee Caldwell, 1785-1854) who married William Stanley Roscoe (1782-1843).
• James Stamford Caldwell (1786-1858).
• Mary Caldwell (1789-1813).
