About the piece
Painted by Gavin Hamilton in 1752, this grand full-length portrait depicts the celebrated beauty Elizabeth Gunning, Duchess of Hamilton. Dressed in a flowing silver-grey gown with a striking red mantle, she stands with effortless grace while her greyhound leaps up to greet her. The scene is set against a backdrop of shadowed woods and a twilight sky, typical of the sophisticated Neoclassical style of the period.
