"Lady Ligonier" is an 18th-century portrait painting by the renowned English artist Thomas Gainsborough, depicting Penelope Pitt, Lady Ligonier. The artwork is a quintessential example of Gainsborough's skill in portraiture, showcasing his ability to capture the grace and elegance of his subjects. Painted circa 1770, the portrait features Lady Ligonier in a pastoral setting, a common motif in Gainsborough's work, which often blended portraiture with landscape art.

The subject, Penelope Pitt, was the wife of Edward Ligonier, 1st Earl Ligonier, and her portrayal in this painting is notable for its refined depiction of her aristocratic beauty and fashionable attire, reflecting the social status and personal vanity of the era's elite. Gainsborough's technique, characterized by loose brushwork and a delicate treatment of light and color, is evident in the rendering of Lady Ligonier's visage and the sumptuous fabrics of her clothing.

"Lady Ligonier" is significant not only for its artistic merit but also for the scandal associated with its subject. Penelope Pitt's adulterous affair with a young guardsman led to a notorious divorce case that scandalized Georgian society. The painting thus serves as a historical document, providing insight into the private lives of the aristocracy and the public's fascination with their indiscretions.

The portrait has been part of various private and public art collections over the centuries and has been exhibited in numerous galleries, contributing to the study and appreciation of Gainsborough's work. As a testament to Gainsborough's legacy, "Lady Ligonier" remains an important piece within the canon of British portraiture, exemplifying the artist's mastery in capturing the complexities of human expression and the opulence of the period.
