Emily Merelina Meymott, Baroness Shand (1830 - 1911) is a 1867 oil by Robert Herdman, a British Romanticism work, held at National Galleries Scotland.
This painting features a woman seated in a chair, with her left hand resting on her chin. She is dressed in a white lace-trimmed dress with a blue skirt, and her dark hair is pulled back. The woman's gaze is directed to the right, and her posture conveys a sense of contemplation. The room's decor is visible behind her, including a red chair, a table with papers and a golden object, and a rug on the floor. The overall atmosphere of the painting is one of quiet reflection.
