The couple are shown arm in arm on a morning walk with a Pomeranian sheepdog. The style of the portrait draws on the work of earlier painters Watteau and Van Dyck, and has a delicate poetic quality largely achieved through Gainsborough’s light, feathery brushwork, which is typical of his late style.\n\nBride and groom were both 21 when they married, and may be wearing their wedding clothes. Some have seen the portrait as a universal statement about wedded bliss and Hallett’s will records that he lived with Elizabeth ‘most happily for nearly 48 years’. However, Elizabeth’s life can't have been easy as betting and gambling were to be her husband’s downfall. They had two sons and four daughters, and when they died Elizabeth and William Hallett were buried in the church where they had been married.\" - (\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.nationalgallery.org.uk\/paintings\/thomas-gainsborough-mr-and-mrs-william-hallett-the-morning-walk\" target=\"_blank\" title=\"National Gallery of Art London - Mr and Mrs William Hallett ('The Morning Walk')\" rel=\"noopener\"\u003eNational Gallery of Art, London\u003c\/a\u003e)\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Thomas Gainsborough","offers":[{"title":"No Size Selected (Select a Size)","offer_id":50510008713459,"sku":null,"price":0.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Replica Size (93\" x 70 1\/2\")","offer_id":50510008746227,"sku":null,"price":9507.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Signature Size (20 1\/2\" x 15 1\/2\")","offer_id":50510008778995,"sku":null,"price":695.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Classic Size (25 1\/8\" x 19\")","offer_id":50510008811763,"sku":null,"price":895.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Gallery Size (30 7\/8\" x 23 3\/8\")","offer_id":50510008844531,"sku":null,"price":1295.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Statement Size (39 3\/4\" x 30\")","offer_id":50510008877299,"sku":null,"price":1995.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Grand Size (47 3\/4\" x 36 1\/8\")","offer_id":50510008910067,"sku":null,"price":2795.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Estate Size (56 1\/4\" x 42 1\/2\")","offer_id":50510008942835,"sku":null,"price":3695.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Museum Size (67 1\/2\" x 51 1\/8\")","offer_id":50510008975603,"sku":null,"price":4995.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0827\/5738\/6483\/files\/MrandMrsWilliamHallett.jpg?v=1789442378","url":"https:\/\/commissionedpaintings.com\/products\/mr-and-mrs-william-hallett-the-morning-walk-ngal1699","provider":"Commissioned Paintings","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
