About the piece

Painted around 1788, this portrait by Thomas Gainsborough captures Miss Evans with the artist's characteristic grace and lightness of touch. The subject is elegantly attired in a shimmering blue gown with delicate lace accents and a striking wide-brimmed hat, set against a softly rendered woodland background that highlights the luminous quality of her complexion and the refined texture of her garments.
