Focus on this artwork and explain the Description.
The couple are captured with the typical feathery brushwork of Gainsborough's late career, walking arm in arm along a path through some woods, accompanied by a Pomeranian sheepdog (then commonly known from its head shape as a "fox dog", more closely related to the German Spitz or the Samoyed dog than the much smaller modern Pomeranian dog) .  The couple may be wearing their wedding clothes, with Elizabeth in a gown of billowing ivory silk with lace cuffs, gathered at the waist with black silk, with a green ribbon tied at the breast echoed by the large green bow tied around a wide-brimmed black hat topped by ostrich plumes.  William is wearing a black velvet frock coat, with large gold buttons and a green and yellow waistcoat; black breeches, white stockings, and buckled shoes; and carrying a plain black hat.
