The Hon. Mrs. Thomas Graham c. 1775 - 1777

"The Hon. Mrs. Thomas Graham", painted by Thomas Gainsborough between 1775 and 1777, showcases the artist's signature style of elegant portraiture. The subject is depicted in a soft, natural light, with her figure gracefully posed against a blurred landscape background. The loose brushwork and subtle color variations create a sense of depth and movement, emphasizing the beauty and refinement of the sitter. Gainsborough's "The Hon. Mrs. Thomas Graham" exemplifies the evolving taste for informal, more intimate portraiture in 18th-century Britain.
