John Hutchison after Thomas Gainsborough (Scottish, 19th Century) Portrait of the Hon. Mrs Thomas Graham, head and shoulders signed on the reverse "John Hutchison" oil on canvas h:75 w:49 cm Thomas Gainsborough's original full length portrait is in the National Gallery of Scotland. Mrs Graham's portrait was painted a year after her marriage to the Hon. Thomas Graham. She fell ill and died during her journey to France in 1792, and after her death her husband could not bear to look at her portrait again and it was lost for many years, before being given to the National Gallery of Scotland. The present portrait probably dates from 1891 when the head was reproduced as a print by Thomas G Appleton. Two tears in canvas which have been repaired from reverse. Paint layer has large drying cracks in many areas. The surface has an uneven gloss. A few small losses to gilding on frame. Blacks are coalescing. Under glass.
