Miss Horatia Stopford 1880

"Miss Horatia Stopford" is an oil painting on canvas created in 1880 by James Jebusa Shannon (1862-1923). The painting depicts Miss Stopford in a three-quarter portrait, with her head and shoulders turned slightly towards the viewer. She is dressed in a dark dress with a white collar, and a black necklace with a cross pendant. Shannon’s skill is evident in the painting’s realistic depiction of Miss Stopford's features, particularly the detail of her eyes. The painting is a fine example of portraiture from the late 19th century.
