Sydney's Art Gallery of New South Wales holds 1 work by Thomas Gainsborough (1727–1788) — the city's entire known holding of this artist in a single institution.
Gainsborough was the great English portrait and landscape painter of the 18th century, whose bravura brushwork placed him closer to the continental tradition than his contemporary Reynolds. His portraits have a vitality and fluency in person that reproductions tend to domesticate.
