Perhaps I can save someone else the time of doing a reverse image search:

This portrait is showing English poet Christopher Anstey with his daughter Mary Ann and was painted by William Hoare, circa 1776. It‘s on display in room 18 on floor 3 at London‘s National Portrait Gallery.

    It's a lot of work to go through just to show your teenager's friends embarrassing pictures of her, but it's worth it!

    This is a really stupid question, but did the man and his daughter pose like that for hours?

    People didn't always have to pose for a long time. A common technique would be to do a quick sketch or series of sketches and then doing the final painting without the subject.
