About the piece
Painted in 1785, this masterpiece by Thomas Gainsborough depicts Elizabeth Ann Linley, a celebrated singer and wife of the playwright Richard Brinsley Sheridan. The work is a supreme example of the 'Grand Manner' style, characterized by its loose, luminous brushwork and the romantic integration of the sitter within a wind-swept landscape. Gainsborough captures both the sitter's refined beauty and a sense of melancholic serenity through the soft, atmospheric rendering of the forest background.
