Every once and a while I run across something that causes pause. This portrait is one of them.
Goodness
This is Lady Violet, The Duchess of Rutland painted by Sir James Jebusa Shannon in 1896. This morning I had no idea this painting existed. I can't say exactly what about it grabbed me but it did. Apparently Shannon painted her three times but looking at the other portraits I would have to say I like this one the most. His other works can be found here.
One day I think I'd like to paint something like that.
