About the piece
Painted by Thomas Gainsborough around 1777, this portrait captures the Honorable Frances Duncombe in a moment of poised elegance. The artist's signature loose brushwork is evident in the shimmering textures of her gown and the moody, romanticized parkland background, reflecting the height of British portraiture.
