"The Ladies Waldegrave" is a celebrated oil painting by Sir Joshua Reynolds, completed in 1780. This masterpiece is renowned for its intricate depiction of the three Waldegrave sisters: Lady Elizabeth Laura, Lady Charlotte Maria, and Lady Anne Horatia, daughters of James Waldegrave, 2nd Earl Waldegrave, and his wife Maria Walpole. The painting was commissioned by their mother, the widow Lady Waldegrave, as a means to showcase the beauty, grace, and marriageability of her daughters to prospective suitors.

Reynolds, a leading English portraitist of the 18th century and the first president of the Royal Academy, employed his refined techniques and sensibility to capture the elegance and subtle interplay of social and familial bonds among the sisters. The painting is particularly noted for its detailed rendering of textures and fabrics, as well as the naturalistic portrayal of the subjects in a domestic setting, engaged in the genteel activity of needlework. This choice of activity, while highlighting their domestic virtues, also allowed Reynolds to display their individual personalities through their expressions and posture.

"The Ladies Waldegrave" is often discussed in the context of 18th-century portraiture, women's roles in society, and the marriage market of the time. It is celebrated not only for its aesthetic qualities but also for its historical significance as a document of social customs and fashions of the British aristocracy in the late 1700s.

The painting has been part of the collection of the National Gallery of Scotland since 1952, where it continues to be a highlight for visitors, offering insight into Reynolds' artistic mastery and the social history of the period. Through "The Ladies Waldegrave," Reynolds achieved a work that is both a family portrait and a sophisticated commentary on the ideals of femininity, beauty, and virtue in the Georgian era.
