About the piece
Painted in 1813 by Andrew Geddes, this soulful portrait of his mother, Agnes Boyd, demonstrates the artist's mastery of light and shadow. The subject’s contemplative expression is framed by a heavy dark hood and a delicate white ruff, reflecting the influence of 17th-century Dutch masters on early 19th-century British portraiture.
