THE MARKET CART PRINT. THOMAS GAINSBOROUGH

Description:
- Color print of The Market Cart.
- The artist, Thomas Gainsborough (1727-1788), was an English landscape and portrait painter. He was an academician and one of the founders of the Royal Academy of Arts. He was known for the speed with which he applied his paint. The resemblance of his landscapes is evident in the way he blended the figures in portraits with the scenes behind them. His later work was characterized by a light palette and economical, effortless brushstrokes.
- The Market Cart is an oil painting on canvas. It is one of the painter's last landscapes. It depicts a horse-drawn carriage with two girls seated inside, traveling along a wooded path.
- The print is on semi-rigid, glossy cardstock.
- The back is plain, without any title, while the front, at the bottom, has the title of the painting in German and the museum where the original work is located. It incorrectly states the Tate Gallery, but this is not accurate; it is currently in the National Gallery in London.
