Mrs Cardwell is a 1865 oil by William Boxall, a British Romanticism work, held at Victoria and Albert Museum.
This portrait painting depicts an elderly woman with long, grey hair, wearing a dark dress and a head covering. Her face is pale, and she looks directly at the viewer with a neutral expression. The background of the painting is dark, which contrasts with the subject's pale skin. The woman's attire and hairstyle suggest that the painting was created during the Victorian era. The artist's use of dark colors and the subject's somber expression contribute to a sense of solemnity in the painting.
