An ornate comb nestles in her dark hair, further accentuating her refined appearance with floral accents that echo the soft textures of her attire.Lavery’s use of light and soft brush strokes enhances the ethereal quality of the portrait, creating a sense of depth and personality.

Sir John Lavery was an Irish painter best known for his portraits and wartime depictions.

John Lavery was born in inner North Belfast, baptised at St Patrick's Church, Belfast and, while still a child, moved to Scotland where he attended Haldane Academy in Glasgow in the 1870s and the Académie Julian in Paris in the early 1880s. He returned to Glasgow and was associated with the Glasgow School. William Burrell, a wealthy ship owner, was a faithful patron of Scottish artists including Joseph Crawhall II, with whom Lavery studied. In 1888 he was commissioned to paint the state visit of Queen Victoria to the Glasgow International Exhibition. This launched his career as a society painter and he moved to London soon after. In 1896, William Burrell commissioned Lavery to paint a portrait of his sister Mary Burrell.
