About the piece
Painted in 1772, this celebrated work by Thomas Gainsborough depicts Elizabeth and Mary Linley, sisters renowned for their beauty and musical talent. The painting showcases Gainsborough's signature fluid, featherweight brushwork, particularly in the luminous blue silk of Elizabeth's gown and the rich ochre of Mary's dress, all set against a moody, deep-toned forest backdrop that highlights their porcelain features.
