"Lady Bampfylde; And Lady Betty Delme, By T. Watson And V. Green" refers to mezzotint engravings after two original portraits painted by Sir Joshua Reynolds, a prominent 18th-century English painter known for his influential portraits. Sir Joshua Reynolds was a founding member and the first president of the Royal Academy of Arts, and he was knighted by King George III.

The first portrait, "Lady Bampfylde," depicts Hon. Anne Bampfylde (1758–1823), who was a member of the British aristocracy. The original painting by Reynolds was completed in 1776 and showcased the elegance and grace typical of Reynolds' portraiture. The second portrait, "Lady Betty Delme," represents Elizabeth Delmé (née Knight) and her children, painted by Reynolds in 1777-1779. Lady Betty Delme was the wife of Peter Delmé, a wealthy British merchant and Member of Parliament.

Both portraits were later translated into mezzotint engravings by Thomas Watson and Valentine Green, who were skilled printmakers of the period. Mezzotint was a popular method of printmaking in the 18th century, known for its ability to reproduce the subtle gradations of light and shade found in oil paintings.

The engravings of Lady Bampfylde and Lady Betty Delme would have been highly sought after in their time, as they allowed the dissemination of Reynolds' work to a broader audience. These prints would have been collected by those who admired Reynolds' artistry but could not afford or access the original paintings.

As with many of Reynolds' portraits, these works are notable for their depiction of the sitters in fashionable attire and poised in a manner that reflects their social status. Reynolds' skill in capturing the character and refinement of his subjects contributed to his reputation as one of the leading portraitists of his time.

The original paintings are significant examples of Reynolds' portraiture and are part of the collections of notable museums. The engravings are important historical records of Reynolds' work and are of interest to collectors of 18th-century prints and those studying the dissemination of art through printmaking.
