The story of The Linley Sisters
Elizabeth Ann and Mary Linley were singers, daughters of the Bath composer Thomas Linley the elder. Gainsborough showed their double portrait at the Royal Academy exhibition of 1772, alongside his portrait of Sir William Pulteney. In 1785 he retouched it at the family's request to bring the sisters' costumes up to date. Their brother William Linley gave the painting to Dulwich Picture Gallery in 1835.

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.
