A most delightful and beautifully painted oil on canvas by a follower of Thomas Gainsborough 1727-1788. The painting features a full length portrait of Lady Sophia Charlotte Sheffield. She is standing in a rural landscape setting. The provenance of the painting carries an old Christie’s Auction House Stencil to the verso. A wonderful piece of artwork which would grace any wall in your home. Thomas Gainsborough RA FRSA 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. Despite being a prolific portrait painter, Gainsborough gained greater satisfaction from his landscapes. In good condition. Please view the photographs as part of the description.
