Thomas Gainsborough

Portrait of Duchess de Beaufort ”

Thomas Gainsborough (1727-1788) was an outstanding English painter of the 18th century. He was a brilliant portraitist. He was a favorite portraitist of the aristocracy. The artist’s deep psychological approach enabled him to impart a poetic expression of individuality.

Gainsborough’s “Portrait of Duchess Beaufort” is an outstanding work of art. The artist depicts a graceful and attractive young woman. She has a pleasant oval face, straight eyebrows and black eyes, a straight nose and well-shaped delicate hands. You can see that she is an aristocrat.

Her rather pale complexion is contrasted by the dark colour of the background (the dark background was traditional in Gainsborough’s time). The artist enlivens the face by a little colour on her cheeks.

Her grayish hair is combed very high and fastened with a comb and a blue ribbon, as was the fashion in those days. The dress is very low cut, also according to the fashion of the day.

The portrait is painted in cold colours (black, blue, grey, white). At first sight you may think that it is a traditional ceremonial portrait, but if you look attentively, you will see that her parted lips, fleeting glance, and graceful gesture of her hand help to create a true impression of the sitter’s vitality and optimism. The woman in the ppicture is alive, and we have a feeling that she is looking at us.
