This double portrait by Joseph Wright of Derby depicts the Rev. and Mrs. Thomas Gisborne, of Yoxhall Lodge, Leicestershire. The couple is presented in a relaxed, outdoor setting, perhaps referencing the Gisborne family's country estate. The prominent presence of a dog suggests a connection to nature and domesticity, themes often explored in portraiture of this period. Wright's masterful use of light and shadow imbues the painting with a sense of depth and realism, characteristic of his artistic style.
