Allen specialised in somewhat conventional portraiture. He attended the Royal Academy Schools and built a successful practice in the north west of England. He was also a founder member of the Liverpool Academy in 1810. The sitters here are the daughters of the Rev. Thomas Constable of Sigglesthorne, Yorkshire and his wife Sarah Goulton. They wear the fashionable high-waisted dress of the Regency period and their hairstyles show a new informality.
