The Gainsborough Girls was written by Beaton as what he hoped would launch his career as a playwright. It was performed at Theatre Royal in Brighton sadly to lack lustre reviews. The play was later restaged as Landscape with Figures with Donald Wolfit as Gainsborough, photographs of which make up lot 118 in the present sale.
