![Thomas Gainsborough - Mr and Mrs Andrews [c.1750]](http://farm7.static.flickr.com/6076/6040728683_50c94be149_b.jpg)
Thomas Gainsborough was in his early twenties when he painted this canvas . The twenty-two-year-old Robert Andrews married 16-year-old Francis Carter in November 1748 . The couple are shown in front of a stout oak tree . The church in the background is St Peters in Sudbury , and the tower to the left is that of Lavenham church . A sprawling landscape stretches out behind them . Everything here is unmistakably and delightfully English .
