GAINSBOROUGH, Thomas

Thomas Gainsborough (christened 14 May 1727 – 2 August 1788) was one of the most famous portrait and landscape painters of 18th century Britain.

His most famous works, such as 'Portrait of Mrs. Graham'; 'Mary and Margaret: The Painter's Daughters'; 'William Hallett and His Wife Elizabeth, nee Stephen, known as The Morning Walk'; and 'Cottage Girl with Dog and Pitcher', display the unique individuality of his subjects.
