Thomas Gainsborough's "Portrait of Mary Wise," painted around 1774, captures the elegance of a 18th-century woman. Mary Wise is depicted in a soft, ethereal light, her hand resting delicately on her chin, her gaze directed slightly away from the viewer. She wears a white gown adorned with gold embroidery, and her hair is styled in a fashionable updo. This portrait exemplifies Gainsborough's mastery of portraiture, showcasing both his technical skill and his ability to convey a sense of refined individuality.
