Mrs. Gwyn & Mrs. Bunbury in the Characters of The Merry Wives of Windsor 1780 William Dickinson The double portrait represents the sisters Mary and Catherine Horneck, who moved to London from Devon after their father's death, and were welcomed into the social circle of Sir Joshua Reynolds. In 1771, the younger sister Catherine married Henry William Bunbury, the gentleman artist-caricaturist. In 1779, Mary married Colonel Francis Edward Gwyn, who have distinguished himself in the American Revolutionary War. The sisters appear here in character as Mrs. Ford and Mrs. Page from Shakespeare's "Merry Wives of Windsor." Since neither was a professional actress, the image either echoes a private theatrical, or simply conveys late eighteenth century delight in "fancy" (imaginative) dress..
