The story of The Market Cart
One of Gainsborough's last landscapes, painted about eighteen months before his death. It was first shown at his home in Pall Mall in 1786, and in 1787 he added the figure of the woodman. The British Institution's governors presented it to the National Gallery in 1830.

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.
