About the piece

This early work by Thomas Gainsborough depicts Lady Lloyd and her son, Richard Savage Lloyd, in a sophisticated 'conversation piece' style. Painted around 1745, the work masterfully contrasts the luminous silk of the woman's gown with the deep, moody tones of the surrounding English forest, showcasing the artist's developing skill in both portraiture and landscape.
