| Description |  |
Gainsborough portrayed William Hallett (1764-1842) and Elizabeth Stephen (1763-1833) shortly before their marriage on 30 July 1785. They may be wearing their wedding clothes. Mrs. Hallett's silk dress, the white fur of the Pomeranian sheepdog, and the foliage are evoked with the light brushstrokes Gainsborough used in the last phase of his career.
