About this work

This is a black-and-white watercolor portrait of a woman in a dark dress with a high collar. She’s holding a fan in one hand and stands against a plain background. Her hair is pulled back, and the painting looks faded but still shows her serious expression. The label says it was made in 1851 by an artist named Giles. The woman’s outfit and the style suggest it’s from the mid-1800s. Check out the Victoria and Albert Museum to see more works like this.
