EDITORS COMMENTS
is a captivating oil on canvas portrait that captures the essence of an esteemed couple from the late 18th century. Painted by Joseph Wright of Derby, this masterpiece measures an impressive 185.5x152.5 cm and is currently housed in the prestigious Yale Center for British Art's Paul Mellon Collection. In this double portrait, we see Reverend Thomas Gisborne and his wife exuding elegance and refinement as they sit side by side. The reverend appears dignified in his clerical attire while his wife radiates gracefulness in her intricately detailed gown adorned with delicate lace trimmings. Notably present beside them is their loyal greyhound companion, adding a touch of warmth to the composition. The couple sits under a parasol and holds an umbrella, symbolizing protection against life's uncertainties. Wright of Derby masterfully captures their individual personalities through subtle details – the reverend's composed expression reflects wisdom acquired over years spent guiding his congregation while Mrs Gisborne's gentle smile hints at her nurturing nature. This painting not only showcases exceptional artistic skill but also provides us with a glimpse into the lives of two influential figures from Leicestershire during this era. It serves as a testament to their social status and highlights their enduring love for each other. As we admire this remarkable piece from yesteryear, let us appreciate its historical significance and marvel
