Elizabeth Murray's 1850 pencil drawing, "Portrait of Selina (Quin) Markham," depicts a woman in profile, seated and looking to the left. The subject's simple dress and hairstyle are characteristic of the mid-19th century. The drawing, now held by the Art Institute of Chicago, highlights Murray's talent for capturing subtle details and creating a sense of realism. Murray (1815-1882) was a well-regarded portrait artist, particularly known for her sensitive depictions of women and children.
