Droves of citizens emigrated, with many heading for the USA amid growing tensions. Yet, look upon the tender expression of this delightful lady, painted in 1853, and little would you know. There’s a resilient spirit behind the sunken hazel eyes and amiable smile.
Her hairstyle is particularly interesting as it features a double parting, which was an occasional preference for women during the early part of this decade.
