About the piece

Painted in 1783, Thomas Gainsborough’s 'The Mall in St. James's Park' is a masterpiece of the English Rococo style. The work depicts members of high society promenading under a canopy of feathery, atmospheric trees, rendered with the artist's signature loose and rhythmic brushwork that creates a sense of movement and light.
