Miss Catherine Tatton

Thomas Gainsborough, 1786

This painting is a portrait of a woman, her torso facing slightly to the left, her face looking directly at us. The woman has fair skin, rosy cheeks, and red lips in a subtle smile. Her hair is dark brown, voluminous, and curled, extending past her shoulders. The woman is dressed in a white gown with ruffled lace and white buttons. She wears a wide-brimmed hat with a blue-grey underside that matches a blue sash around her waist. Her hand rests on her midsection, holding a part of the sash. The background depicts abstract foliage in muted greens and yellows under a gray sky.
