Mr. and Mrs. Andrews

This is the painting Mr. and Mrs. Andrews, painted by Thomas Gainsborough around 1750. This painting shows newlyweds Robert and Frances Andrews. They are dressed in very expensive clothes. But what really catches the eye is the English landscape behind them. At a first look the painting might seem to reflect on the wealth of the couple. But they don't seem to belong in this setting. They are dressed in very expensive clothes and don't fit in with the rural surroundings.
