Pinkie

This delicate Little Ghost is made from the lightest Venetian red and pure white to bring about billowing clouded Ghosts. Some are are pinker but never brash in some others the pink is a mere whisper.

In 1794 the artist Thomas Lawrence painted a portrait of the eleven year old Sarah Barrett Moulton. The painting traditionally known as “Pinkie” shows the girl with an alluring gaze wearing an exquisite lightest of pink dress and is said to symbolise childhood innocence and tenderness.

Pinkie owes part of its notability to its association with the famous Gainsborough portrait The Blue Boy which hangs opposite in the Huntington Library in San Marino, California. The two paintings have become inextricably linked , almost if they were conceived as a diptych , perhaps siblings or cousins. In fact they were painted almost 25 years apart by different artists, Pinkie turns to the left, the blue boy to the right. Together they makes wondrous pair. Do keep an eye out for the Blue Boy Ghost companion piece which will release in the near future.
