Family portraits are a constant presence in modern life. Foreshadowing this, Thomas Gainsborough was the first British artist to make a regular practice of painting and drawing himself and his family members. Comprising some of his best loved works, this exhibition will explore how these portraits not only expressed his affections but also helped advance his career.
