A Couple in a Landscape

Dated by Waterhouse to the mid-1750s and identified as a companion to the 'Girl seated in a Park' in the Fitzwilliam Museum, Cambridge. An X-ray reveals an underlying half-length female portrait. Gainsborough turned the canvas upside down before repainting it with the present composition.
