"Portrait of George Pitt, 1st Baron Rivers (1721–1803)" is an 18th-century oil painting by the renowned English artist Thomas Gainsborough, one of the most prominent portrait painters of his time. The artwork captures George Pitt, later known as the 1st Baron Rivers, a British peer and Member of Parliament. Gainsborough's skill in portraiture is evident in the depiction of Pitt's stature and demeanor, reflective of his social standing and the elegance associated with the British aristocracy of the period.

The painting is characteristic of Gainsborough's style, which often featured a softness and a deft use of light to enhance the subject's features and clothing. His portraits are known for their psychological depth and the ability to convey the personality and inner life of the sitter. In this portrait, Gainsborough may have aimed to represent not only Pitt's likeness but also the attributes of his character and his position in society.

As with many of Gainsborough's portraits, the background likely features a landscape, which was a hallmark of his work and pointed to his love of nature. The composition, use of color, and brushwork would have been carefully balanced to create a harmonious and flattering portrayal, which was a key aspect of Gainsborough's appeal to his patrons.

The "Portrait of George Pitt, 1st Baron Rivers" would have been commissioned by Pitt himself or his family, as was customary at the time for individuals of his rank.

Today, the painting stands as a significant work in the oeuvre of Thomas Gainsborough, offering insight into his artistic practice and the social history of the period. It is a valuable piece for art historians and enthusiasts who study the evolution of portraiture, the representation of the British aristocracy, and the cultural landscape of the 18th century.
