The story of Charles Rousseau Burney (1747–1819)
Gainsborough's bust portrait of Charles Rousseau Burney, the harpsichordist son of the music historian Charles Burney and cousin/husband to the novelist Fanny Burney. The young Burney is shown in profile against a Gainsborough-grey background, ribboned hair pulled back, the painter's signature loose handling visible in the silk of his coat. A small intimate Georgian likeness.
Thomas Gainsborough
Thomas Gainsborough was an English portrait and landscape painter, draughtsman, and printmaker. Along with his rival Sir Joshua Reynolds, he is considered one of the most important British artists of the second half of the 18th century. He painted quickly, and the works of his maturity are characterised by a light palette and easy strokes.
