"Mr. B finds Pamela writing" is an illustration by the English painter Joseph Highmore, created as part of a series of twelve paintings depicting scenes from Samuel Richardson's novel "Pamela, or Virtue Rewarded," published in 1740. The illustration captures a pivotal moment in the narrative where Mr. B, the gentleman who attempts to seduce his young maidservant Pamela, discovers her writing letters. These letters, which form the epistolary structure of the novel, are Pamela's means of maintaining her virtue and narrating her experiences while under Mr. B's persistent advances.

Highmore's work, painted in 1743-1744, is significant for its visual interpretation of Richardson's text, offering insights into 18th-century attitudes towards class, virtue, and the role of women. The painting is a fine example of the conversation piece, a genre of art that depicts people in a domestic or social setting, which Highmore helped to popularize. In this scene, the artist conveys the tension and power dynamics between the characters through their expressions and body language, set within the domestic interior that reflects their social positions.

The series of paintings, including "Mr. B finds Pamela writing," was commissioned by the author Richardson himself, who was a friend of Highmore. This commission highlights the close relationship between literature and visual arts in the 18th century and the ways in which artists and writers collaborated to bring narratives to life. The paintings were intended to serve as a visual accompaniment to the novel, helping readers to visualize the story and its moral lessons.

Today, Highmore's illustrations for "Pamela" are considered important cultural artifacts that provide context for the reception and interpretation of Richardson's novel. They are also recognized for their artistic merit and contribution to the development of narrative painting in Britain. The works are held in various collections and have been the subject of scholarly study in both art history and literary criticism, shedding light on the interplay between text and image in the 18th century.
