His portrait of the sour Andrews is one of his most famous. The landscape depicted is true to nature & you can tell that the sitter he empathised with most was the dog. Mr & Mrs Andrews (1748-9), Holywells Park, Ipswich (c1750) & Pool in the Woods (c1750-5)

Thomas Gainsborough (1727-1788) created this beautiful painting of Holywells Park in 1748-1750. It's his only known landscape of Ipswich and depicts the park's man-made reservoirs. The park is still a stunning part of our town, extending over 69 acres.
