About the piece
Painted around 1785, this work showcases Thomas Gainsborough's late 'sketchy' style, characterized by extremely loose and expressive brushwork. The scene depicts the goddess Diana and her nymphs bathing in a secluded forest pool, capturing a moment of startled vulnerability with an ethereal, almost dreamlike quality that highlights the artist's technical mastery.
