Reserved - 19th-Century British School Portrait Of A Lady With A Bonnet

Reserved - 19th-Century British School Portrait Of A Lady With A BonnetA fine mid 19th century portrait of a lady wearing a predominantly black outfit with a white bonnet. Its plausible that shes in the latter stages of mourning. The artist has captured the complexity of her expression very well. What do you see? I get a sense of fragility in the eyes combined with a determination to carry on. The portrait is unsigned but clearly by a well trained hand.
