  • Maria, lady Eardley är ett porträttmålning i olja av den engelske konstnären Thomas Gainsborough. Den målades omkring 1770 och ingår sedan 1966 i Nationalmuseum samlingar i Stockholm. Gainsborough var Englands främsta porträtt- och landskapsmålare under 1700-talet. Gainsborough ville helst måla landskap; porträtt gjorde han främst på beställning. Han uttryckte vid ett tillfälle att "jag gör porträtt för att överleva och landskap för att jag tycker om dem". Det är dock hans porträtt som lade grunden till hans berömmelse. (sv)

  • Maria, Lady Eardley is an oil on canvas by the English artist, Thomas Gainsborough, painted around the time of her marriage in 1766, according to British art historian, Ellis Waterhouse, in “Preliminary Check List of Portraits by Thomas Gainsborough,” The Volume of the Walpole Society 33 (1948 –1950): 34. It has been in the collections of Nationalmuseum in Stockholm since 1966. The sitter is Maria Marow Gideon nee Wilmot, later Lady Eardley (1743–1794), the daughter of judge John Eardley Wilmot and his wife Sarah Rivett. In December, 1766 she married Sampson Gideon, a banker who in 1789 was elevated to the Irish peerage to become Lord Eardley with a name from her father's maternal family. She is just over 23 years of age in the painting. She is facing us wearing an elegant blue and white wrapping dress. She holds a flower in her hand and pearls glisten in her hair. Gainsborough was one of England's leading 18th century portrait and landscape painters. He was a contemporary of Joshua Reynolds who painted the sitter before and after her marriage. Both specialized in portraits of the British aristocracy. This work is highly representative of Gainsborough's depictions of the British élite – they emerge in full figure from wooded landscapes. Grandeur was key, in content and form, and the portraits were usually full-length. He was also an accomplished landscape painter, and here the young woman is framed by the backdrop of a romantically leafy landscape garden. Gainsborough was a master at rendering aristocratic extravagance in a natural setting. (en)
  • Maria, lady Eardley är ett porträttmålning i olja av den engelske konstnären Thomas Gainsborough. Den målades omkring 1770 och ingår sedan 1966 i Nationalmuseum samlingar i Stockholm. Gainsborough var Englands främsta porträtt- och landskapsmålare under 1700-talet. Gainsborough ville helst måla landskap; porträtt gjorde han främst på beställning. Han uttryckte vid ett tillfälle att "jag gör porträtt för att överleva och landskap för att jag tycker om dem". Det är dock hans porträtt som lade grunden till hans berömmelse. Den här målningen är mycket representativ för Gainsboroughs bilder av den brittiska eliten – i helfigur träder de fram ur romantiska lummiga engelska parklandskap. Maria, lady Eardly (1743–1794) är här drygt tjugofem år och möter oss i en elegant vit sidenklänning, med en blå sjal över armen. I handen håller hon en blomma och i hennes hår glimmar pärlor. Gainsborough var expert på att ge den aristokratiska extravagansen en naturlig inramning. Gainsborough var samtida med Joshua Reynolds, hans främsta rival i 1700-talets engelska konstvärld, och tillsammans hade de 1768 grundat Royal Academy of Arts. Båda specialiserade sig på porträtt av brittisk aristokratin. Anslagen var storslagna till innehåll och format och oftast avbildades modellerna i helfigur. Även Reynolds porträtterade lady Eardley. Hon var dotter till domaren (1709–1792) och gift med bankiren Sampson Gideon (1744–1824), adlad baron Eardley. Maken var av judisk börd, son till den mycket framstående bankiren (1699–1762). Han tog 1789 sin svärfars namn Eardly i samband med att han upphöjdes till baron. (sv)
