The sitters may be related to Samuel Lloyd (1768-1849) whose father, Sampson Lloyd, was a co-founder of the Lloyds Bank. According to the later label to the reverse, the sitters are Samuel and Rachel Lloyd, presumably referring to the Samuel Lloyd (1768-1849) who in 1791 married Rachel Braithwaite (1768-1854). From the age of the sitters and depending on the exact dating of the present portraits, the sitters are however more likely to be the next generation of the Lloyd family.
