Thomas Gainsborough completed this elegant couple in a parkland setting. The work is a "conversation piece," a type of informal group portrait popular in 18th-century England. Gainsborough combined his talents for portraits and landscapes.
His feathery brushwork and silvery color palette distinguish his style from contemporaries like Reynolds. This painting hangs at the Louvre in Paris.
