Zoffany's talent extended to portraiture as well. In "The Gore Family with George, third Earl Cowper, " created around 1775, he portrayed elegance and familial warmth.

He also painted portraits such as that of Reverend Philip Cocks from the late 1760s or Mr. John Maddison in 1783; both portray individuals with dignity and character. Furthermore, Zoffany delved into theater by creating an iconic depiction of David Garrick alongside Mrs. Pritchard as Macbeth and Lady Macbeth in 1768.
