How does Portrait of Mrs Mary Graham elucidate its Description?
One of Gainsborough's finest portraits, it has become an icon of the Scottish National Gallery.
It is one of three works the artist completed of Mary Graham. A more conventional half length portrait, The Hon. Mrs. Thomas Graham, also completed between 1775 and 1777 is believed to be the painting that was initially commissioned. It is now part of the Widener collection in the National Gallery of Art in Washington, D.C.
