Sarah Rowlls Chad c. 1775

Thomas Gainsborough's "Sarah Rowlls Chad" (c. 1775) is a portrait of a young woman in a white dress, with a yellow sash, and pearl necklace. The sitter's relaxed pose and soft gaze give the portrait an air of elegance and informality, characteristic of Gainsborough's portraiture style. Her hair is stylishly done, and her delicate features are captured with precision, highlighting Gainsborough's mastery of oil painting.
