Thomas Gainsborough - Lady in Blue (1770-1780)


Between the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries the portrait is the most appreciated style; consequently unique techniques and effects develop.
Playing between pastel shades and delicate colors, the whole portrait is pervaded by a sense of peace and serenity. Confirmed by the intense gaze of the woman.
Thanks to the flowing brush strokes, it seems to glimpse an almost imperceptible movement in the painting.
