The story of Mrs. Grace Dalrymple Elliott (1754?–1823)
Gainsborough's full-length portrait of the great Georgian beauty and society courtesan Grace Dalrymple Elliott — Scottish-born, briefly married to a Scottish doctor, mistress in succession to the Earl of Cholmondeley, Lord Valentia, and the Prince of Wales. Gainsborough painted her in a pale silk gown against a stormy garden background, her famously tall figure exaggerated by his trademark feather-light brushwork. A masterpiece of late Georgian portraiture, held by The Metropolitan Museum of Art.
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.
