EDITORS COMMENTS
Margaret Sarah Geddes (née Collins), mother-in-law to Harriet and wife of William Collins, is captured in this exquisite portrait by her sister Margaret Carpenter. Painted in 1826, the artwork showcases Mrs W. Collins' striking features and dignified demeanor as she gazes directly at the viewer with a sense of quiet confidence.
Dressed in elegant attire adorned with gold jewelry, Mrs Collins exudes refinement and poise. Her head is framed by an ornate headdress, adding to her regal presence. The portrait's warm color palette and subtle lighting create a cozy atmosphere, drawing us into the intimate setting where this formidable woman once resided.
As Wilkie Collins' grandmother, Margaret Sarah Geddes played a significant role in his life. Her story serves as a testament to the complexities of family relationships and personal struggles during the 19th century. This portrait not only celebrates Mrs W. Collins' beauty but also offers a glimpse into her character - strong-willed, intelligent, and deeply connected to those around her.
This oil on panel painting is part of Heritage Images' collection, offering us a rare opportunity to connect with the past through art.
