After Gainsborough - 18th Century Oil, Young Hobbinol and Ganderetta

18th Century and Earlier

About the Item

A fine study after Thomas Gainsborough's original painting of two peasant children Hobbinol and Ganderetta. The original was one of Gainsborough's last exhibited pieces in his lifetime. In 1788, the year of the artist's death the painting was exhibited in "The Gallery of British Poets" and was of great interest as Gainsborough had largely stopped exhibiting in 1884. As it is one of his later pieces, this copy was most probably painted in the twelve years after the artist's death, making it more of a contemporary study. The artist for this piece has worked to convey the classic style of Gainsborough in the finer details of the painting. From the soft flourishes on the background foliage, the the stylised way that the artist captures the cat in the foreground, there is a determination to replicate Gainsborough's technique. Unsigned. Presented in an 18th century gilt frame. On canvas.
