"Mrs. Richard Brinsley Sheridan" is an oil painting created by the renowned English portrait artist Thomas Gainsborough between 1785 and 1787. The subject of the painting, Elizabeth Ann Linley Sheridan, was a celebrated singer of the 18th century and the wife of the famous playwright and politician Richard Brinsley Sheridan. The artwork is considered one of Gainsborough's finest portraits, exemplifying his mastery in capturing the grace and elegance of his sitters.

The painting depicts Mrs. Sheridan in a pastoral landscape, a setting that Gainsborough often favored for his subjects, as it allowed him to blend portraiture with the naturalistic elements that he so admired. Elizabeth Ann Linley is shown seated, her gaze contemplative and directed away from the viewer, which imparts a sense of introspection and poise. The use of soft, fluid brushstrokes and the delicate rendering of light and shadow on her face and dress are characteristic of Gainsborough's style and contribute to the overall ethereal quality of the piece.

Measuring 220 cm by 154 cm, the portrait is notable for its grand scale, which was typically reserved for more formal and official depictions. However, Gainsborough's approach to the portrait of Mrs. Sheridan is intimate and personal, reflecting the admiration he had for her beauty and talent. The painting is also significant for its historical context, as Elizabeth Ann Linley was a prominent figure in London's musical and theatrical circles, and her marriage to Richard Brinsley Sheridan was a subject of much public interest.

"Mrs. Richard Brinsley Sheridan" is held in the collection of the National Gallery of Art in Washington, D.C. It remains a testament to Gainsborough's skill as a portraitist and continues to be appreciated for its aesthetic qualities and its representation of 18th-century English society.
