Mary was baptised on 3 February 1750 and Margaret on 22 August 1751. Mary was given the name of the couple’s first daughter, who died at about 18 months old.\n\nMargaret and Mary run hand-in-hand through dark woodland in pursuit of a cabbage white butterfly, which has landed momentarily on a tall thistle. Margaret reaches out her hand, while Mary clutches her looped-up muslin apron as a net. The children’s attempt to catch the elusive butterfly may be intended to suggest the fleeting nature of childhood, and the fragility of children’s lives. The wood in Gainsborough’s picture is dark and sombre.\n\nThis is probably the earliest of at least six double portraits that Gainsborough painted of his daughters between about 1756 and 1770.\" - (\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.nationalgallery.org.uk\/paintings\/thomas-gainsborough-the-painters-daughters-chasing-a-butterfly\" target=\"_blank\" title=\"National Gallery of Art London -
