The sitter was the third son of Peter Brooke of Mere (1722-83) and his second wife Elizabeth. Following the deaths of his two elder brothers, Thomas inherited the estate at Mere in 1783. He joined the 1st Cheshire Yeomanry and became a Lieut. - Colonel in the regiment. He married Maria, daughter of the Rev. Sir Thomas Delves Broughton, of Broughton, Staffordshire, and Doddington Castle, Cheshire. They had six sons and two daughters. The eldest son, Peter, succeeded in 1815 on the death of his father.

Daniel Stringer was the second son of the Cheshire sporting artist, Thomas Stringer (1722-1790), who lived and worked in the small market town of Knutsford. His bother, Samuel (1750-1784), painted landscapes and exhibited at Liverpool in 1774; four landscapes by him, dated 1781, were at High Legh Hall, and he also painted watercolour views of Tabley Old Hall. Born on 14 June 1754, Daniel entered the Royal Academy Schools and became a portrait painter. His self-portrait, signed and dated 1776, is in Tate Britain, London (no. 3137).
