Thomas Ross, portrait, landscape and decorative painter, was working in Suffolk in 1730 and may have been based in Gloucester before that date. Most of his known works are head and shoulders portraits, painted within a feigned oval. A portrait of poet and landscape gardener William Shenstone (1714-1763) by the artist is in the collection of the National Portrait Gallery, London. Ross’s works were engraved by Philipp Audinet (1766-1837) and J. Hall.
