"Pastel Portraits by Sir Joshua Reynolds" refers to a body of work created by the renowned 18th-century British painter Sir Joshua Reynolds, who is best known for his influential oil paintings. As a leading portraitist of his time, Reynolds was a prominent figure in the development of the Grand Style in British painting, which emphasized idealization of the imperfect. He served as the first president of the Royal Academy of Arts and was knighted by King George III.

Although Reynolds is primarily associated with his oil paintings, he also experimented with pastels, a medium that was gaining popularity in the 18th century for its soft texture and vibrant colors. Pastel portraits by Reynolds are relatively rare compared to his oil works, but they exhibit a similar mastery of form and character. These portraits often showcase the artist's ability to capture the delicate nuances of his subjects' expressions and personalities.

Reynolds' use of pastels was likely influenced by the Rococo style, which favored lightness, grace, and a certain playfulness, contrasting with the more formal and grandiose qualities of his oil paintings. His pastel works may have provided him with a platform for more intimate and personal expressions of portraiture, a contrast to the public and often idealized representations commissioned by his patrons.

The pastel portraits by Sir Joshua Reynolds contribute to our understanding of his versatility as an artist and his willingness to explore different mediums. They remain an important aspect of his oeuvre, offering insight into the broader scope of portrait art in the 18th century and the various techniques employed by one of its foremost practitioners. These works continue to be studied for their historical significance and artistic merit, and they are held in various art collections, museums, and galleries around the world.
