This charming vintage tin features a beautifully printed reproduction of Portrait of Mrs. Graham by the renowned 18th-century artist Thomas Gainsborough. The image showcases the elegance and grace of the Hon. Mrs. Graham, with exquisite detailing and rich, muted tones that have aged gracefully over time.

The reverse of the tin includes an inscription highlighting Gainsborough’s artistic skill and the painting’s significance, as it hangs in the Scottish National Gallery, Edinburgh. The tin itself has a classic rectangular shape with a black base, an ornate gold-trimmed border around the image, and signs of wear that add to its authentic vintage character.

The inscription reads; In the gift of investing his distinguished patrons with grace and distinction Gainsborough had scarcely a rival. His portrait of the Hons Mrs Graham, which was bequeathed to the Scottish nation, and hangs in the Scottish National Gallery at Edinburgh, is thought by many to be the finest example of his work and shews to the full his marvellous gift for appropriate colour and harmonized unity.
