Painting Description
''The Linley Sisters'' is a celebrated double portrait by the renowned 18th-century English painter Thomas Gainsborough, depicting Elizabeth and Mary Linley, two members of the talented Linley family. Painted circa 1772, this artwork is also known by its longer title, ''The Linley Sisters: Elizabeth, Mrs. Sheridan, and Mary, Mrs. Tickell''. The painting is a testament to Gainsborough's skill in capturing the grace and elegance of his subjects, as well as his ability to convey the intimate bond between the siblings.
Elizabeth Ann Linley, the elder sister, was famous for her beauty and her voice, becoming a well-known soprano in Georgian England. She later married the playwright and politician Richard Brinsley Sheridan. Mary Linley, also musically gifted, married the writer Richard Tickell. The Linley sisters were celebrated figures in London's cultural circles, and their portrayal by Gainsborough reflects their status as icons of beauty and talent of their time.
The painting is notable for its informal composition and the relaxed, yet affectionate, interaction between the sisters, which was a departure from the more rigid and formal portraiture of the period. Gainsborough's use of light and color, as well as his loose brushwork, contribute to the sense of liveliness and realism in the painting. The background landscape, a feature characteristic of Gainsborough's portraits, adds depth and context to the depiction of the sitters.
"The Linley Sisters" is held in high regard for its artistic merit and as an example of Gainsborough's portraiture at its finest. The painting is part of the collection at the Dulwich Picture Gallery in London, where it continues to be studied and admired for its beauty and historical significance.
