Considered one of England's great masters of portraiture and landscape, Thomas Gainsborough (1727–1788) painted, by royal invitation, portraits of King George III and his queen, Charlotte Sophia. A favorite painter of the British aristocracy, he became wealthy through commissions for portraits characterized by the noble and refined grace of the figures, by poetic charm, and by cool and fresh colors. This lovely card collection includes reproductions in miniature of 24 of the artist's finest works, among them Lady Innes (ca. 1758–9), The Harvest Wagon (1767), The Linley Sisters (1772), A Rocky Coastal Scene (1781), The Three Eldest Princesses (1784), his famous The Blue Boy (ca. 1770) and eighteen others. Ideal for sending brief messages to art-loving friends and relatives, these cards can also be framed, used as colorful bookmarks, or simply added to a personal collection.

This new study on Thomas Gainsborough concentrates on the early life and works of the great eighteenth-century artist. Gainsborough’s talent was evident at a young age, and before he established himself as one of London’s leading portrait artists he was able to indulge himself in his true passion, landscapes, as well as providing portraits for a provincial clientele. 
Graced with the light and gentle shadows of the English countryside, these early works provided the foundation for much of Gainsborough’s later work. But many of them, including the renowned Mr. and Mrs. Andrews, and His Daughters Chasing a Butterfly, can be called masterpieces in their own right. It was in Suffolk that the artist developed a naturalistic approach to portraiture by abandoning "conversation pieces" and painting instead a number of straightforward head-and-shoulder portraits. This lively and accessible volume features eighty color and black-and-white reproductions of Gainsborough’s paintings, etchings, and drawings. They not only shed light on the development of one of England’s most revered painters, but also offer an intimate look at the work of a young painter in the thrall of his subjects, and just beginning to realize his full talents.
