Mrs. Robert Shurlock Sr. (Ann Manwaring)
John Russell
1801 · Pastel on paper, laid down on canvas · European Paintings
Mrs. Shurlock was the mother of Robert Shurlock, the artist's son-in-law. This portrait of her taking snuff is one of several pastels made by Russell for his daughter's family. The handling of the sitter's face is smooth and even, while her bonnet and dress reveal a more rigorous application of the medium with greater evidence of the artist's stroke.
