  Landscape with Cattle by Thomas Gainsborough 1772-4 As a wedding present the Piozzis had given Sophia and Henry Merrick Hoare a painting by Thomas Gainsborough. Hester Lynch Thrale née Salusbury told Queeney: It is a Gainsborough, scarce five Feet by four - The Subject Cattle driven down to drink, and the first Cow expresses something of a Surprize as it an Otter lurked under the Bank! On 17 October 1807, Hester wrote of the painting … The Subject Cattle driven down to drink, & the first Cow expresses Something of Surprize as if an Otter lurked under the Bank. It is a naked looking Landschape "done to divert Abel the Musician by representing his Country Bohenia in no favourable Light, & the Dog is a favourite's Portrait... Sophia cannot have much cared for it as in June 1815 it was sold at Philips's in London and was later owned by the Marquis of Lansdowne and displayed in London at 1936 Gainsborough exhibition.
