Description
|
|
|
|
This catalog of paintings by William Gainsborough focuses specifically on the artist's portraits of mid-18th-century society women, starting with the Cincinnati Art Museum's famous portrait of Ann Ford (1760), examining how the artist painted them as they saw themselves—progressive women of the Enlightenment era. The book particularly shines for its numerous double page-filling closeups, revealing the finest details of Gainsborough's brushwork.
