A portrait by Ford Madox Brown of Henry Fawcett, a Cambridge professor and Postmaster General, with his wife, Dame Millicent Garrett Fawcett, a leading suffragist and feminist.
This oil on canvas portrait by Ford Madox Brown depicts Henry Fawcett, a Cambridge professor and Postmaster General, with his wife, Dame Millicent Garrett Fawcett, a leading suffragist and feminist. The painting presents a sombre, intimate scene. Fawcett, who lost his sight in an accident, is shown seated, his face turned slightly to the side, with his wife standing protectively behind him. She gently guides his hands, which hold a piece of paper, perhaps Braille. The composition is dark, with the figures emerging from a shadowy background, typical of Brown's Pre-Raphaelite style. The subdued palette and careful attention to detail in the subjects' faces and clothing create a sense of quiet dignity and intellectual depth. The portrait captures not only their physical likenesses but also hints at their shared commitment to social reform and intellectual pursuits. Brown's work often explored themes of labour, social justice, and the complexities of modern life, and this portrait aligns with his interest in portraying individuals who contributed significantly to Victorian society.

Beautiful print, great quality and love it with the white frame. Delivery was really fast. I've had loads of compliments from visitors as I've hung it in my hallway as the first thing you see when you enter the house. Couldn't be happier.
