About the piece
Painted in 1838 by Andrew Geddes, this exquisite oil portrait depicts Hannah Fry, Mrs Harris Prendergast. The artist masterfully captures the shimmering textures of her silk dress and delicate lace, set against a deep crimson drapery that lends the work a sense of regal sophistication typical of the Romantic era.
