"The Artist with his Wife and Daughter" is a portrait by Thomas Gainsborough, painted in 1748. The painting depicts the artist, his wife Margaret, and their daughter Mary, seated in a wooded landscape. Gainsborough's relaxed style and soft brushstrokes capture a sense of intimacy and domesticity, characteristic of the artist's portraiture. The painting is a testament to the importance of family in 18th century England, and provides a glimpse into the personal life of a prominent artist.
