About the piece
Produced in the workshop of Thomas Gainsborough around 1781, this formal portrait depicts Queen Charlotte of England. The composition emphasizes the luxury of her silk and lace attire against a rich backdrop of deep red drapery and a soft landscape vista. The inclusion of a small spaniel at her feet adds a touch of domestic warmth to this otherwise grand, royal commission.
