Description: | This elderly lady is shown reading her Bible. She is dressed in the fashions of an earlier period, and is well wrapped up with a shawl around her head under her hat. Morton has represented the lively expression of her face, but also the pale and sunken appearance of the skin of her hands. Andrew Mortoon was a Newcastle-born portrait painter. Most of his career was spent in London, but he exhibited several North East portraits in the 1820s. | Publisher: | Tyne & Wear Archives & Museums | Temporal: | Production date: 1823 | Source: | Tyne & Wear Archives & Museums | Creator: | Andrew Morton | Identifier: | http://www.twmuseums.org.uk/artonline/se... | Go to resource |
