Thomas Gainsborough Mr. and Mrs.
John Gravenor and their Daughters, John Gravenor was a successful apothecary in Ipswich, the town to which Gainsborough had moved from his native Sudbury in 1752. In 1754 Gravenor turned his hand to local politics, and it is likely that he commissioned this portrait of his family to celebrate his new role in public life. With him are his second wife, Ann, and their two daughters, Elizabeth and Ann. |
