风景中的彼得·达内尔·穆尔曼，查尔斯·克罗卡特和威廉·基布尔

This is one of only a few group portraits by Gainsborough, who generally preferred to paint individuals. The sitters on either side are probably Charles Crockatt and Peter Darnell Muilman, the sons of rich merchants who had recently acquired fine estates in Essex. The man playing the flute in the centre is William Keable, a minor portrait painter who taught the young gentlemen music and drawing. In this early painting, Gainsborough fuses his three great interests in life: portraiture, landscape painting and music.
