Portrait of Queen Charlotte of England
Thomas Gainsborough1781/1781
Gallery of Old and New Masters, Staatliches Museum Schwerin / Ludwigslust / Güstrow
Schwerin, Germany
This representative full-portrait shows the 37-year-old queen, a princess born in Mecklenburg-Strelitz, without any royal insignia. Drapes and dogs are well known characteristics of royal portraits. The landscape always plays a major role in Gainsborough’s portraits. Unusual for his time is the use of paint patching in his style.
