About the piece

Created around 1788, this evocative work by Thomas Gainsborough demonstrates the artist's masterful use of light and shadow in a wooded landscape. The composition features small figures nestled under a dramatic canopy of trees, captured with the expressive, gestural strokes and moody tonal palette characteristic of his late drawings.
