Gainsborough often referred to portrait painting as something he did for a living; however, landscape painting remained his favorite Artistic activity. Even in the midst of bustling London traffic and crowded life style, he continued to paint one landscape after the other, recalled the beauty of the countryside he left behind. Many a nice landscape drawing, some in pencil, some in charcoal, was found later in his studio. One example for these pastoral themes is his Peasant Girl Gathering Sticks (Manchester City Art Gallery, 1782).
