About the piece
Painted in 1889 by Sir Lawrence Alma-Tadema, this portrait of Mary Ellis Sneyd captures a quiet moment within a sophisticated Victorian setting. The artist’s mastery of light and texture is evident in the warm glow of the stained-glass window and the intricate detailing of the sitter’s striped gown and the surrounding still life elements.
