GAINSBOROUGH'S HOUSE
Wooded Landscape with Cattle by a Pool (detail), oil on canvas by Gainsborough, Thomas, 1727–1788, photo credit: Gainsborough's House
Seated in a rural idyll of a typical Suffolk landscape, the sitters dressed in fashionable contemporary attire are Mary, widow of Thomas Cobbold (1680 – 1752), a maltster from Bury St Edmunds, and their daughter Anne.
The ewe and lamb beautifully reflect the mother and daughter relationship and the painting offers the charming detail of the tiny parakeet on Mary’s hand and the rose on her dress.
Available now for just £40 plus postage.
Gainsborough's House is the birthplace of Thomas Gainsborough and home to some of his finest works. The Gainsborough's House Society formed in 1958 to purchase the house and open it as a public museum. The museum has been open for 60 years and continues to operate as a charitable trust. Located in Sudbury, Suffolk, the house exhibits drawings and paintings that span Gainsborough's entire career as an artist. Purchases of framed and unframed art prints directly support the collection.
