Painting
Although the name of the sitter is unknown, Gainsborough gives the viewer several clues that help place him in a social context: the gentleman holds a book, indicating he is learned; he leans on a stone pillar, with a pastoral landscape and a river behind him, suggesting he is a landowner.
This portrait, made when Gainsborough was in his mid-20s, is a typical example of his early style.

Painting
Le Prince studied with the rococo painter François Boucher and adopted his master's delicate manner and cool, pastel palette in his early work. Dating from late in his career, however, "The Visit" demonstrates a greater naturalism, reflecting the increasing popularity of seventeenth-century Dutch painting in eighteenth-century France. In this canvas, Le Prince has combined a genre scene with a panoramic landscape to suggest a gracious moment in everyday rural life. The subject of nobles visiting a peasant family would have appealed to the sense of humanity cultivated during the Enlightenment.
