Mrs Mary Robinson (Perdita) by Thomas Gainsborough, 1781. The Prince of Wales, the future George IV, attended the Drury Lane theatre to watch the play ‘The Winters Tale’ and, in doing so, became infatuated with Mrs Robinson, who was playing the character of Perdita. Upon becoming his first mistress for a short period, she was lovingly nicknamed ‘Perdita’ by the Prince. ___________________________________________ #thomasgainsborough #painting #portrait #portraitphotography #art #artist #artwork #artworks #oiloncanvas #mrsmaryrobinson #wallacemuseum #wallacecollection #thewallacecollection #museum #artgallery #arthistory #18thcentury #18thcenturyart #interiors #furniture #decorativearts #decorativeantiques #frenchdecorativearts #chandelier #europeanfurniture #silk #goldgilding #antiques #artcollection #decor (at The Wallace Collection) https://www.instagram.com/p/Capr0tvoDQL/?utm_medium=tumblr
