Sarah Kirby (née Bull); (John) Joshua Kirby Portrait Print

Sarah Kirby (née Bull); (John) Joshua Kirby NPG 1421

by Thomas Gainsborough

Gainsborough got to know Kirby when the two men collaborated on a painting around 1748. They became life-long friends and soon after Gainsborough painted this informal portrait of the couple and their dog. While the scene seems to be set in the English countryside - probably their native Suffolk - X-rays show that Gainsborough's original plan was grander and more French in style. The rustic landscape once included a classical sculpture which Gainsborough covered up with the tree-trunk. More detailed information on this portrait... more
