This attention to detail and the empathetic portrayal of his subjects are hallmarks of Wheatley's work, contributing to his reputation as a master of genre painting.

Throughout his career, Wheatley was influenced by the works of earlier artists such as Jean-Baptiste Greuze and Thomas Gainsborough, and he brought a distinctly British sensibility to his art.
