Summary
[edit]DescriptionAnne Lister Restoration.jpg |
English: Watercolour portrait of Anne Lister of Shibden Hall.
Probably the portrait painted by a Mrs Taylor on Wednesday 20 and Thursday November 1822, as described in Lister's diary: "Wednesday 20 November [Halifax] At 12:40, too George in the gig & drove to Mrs Taylor's. Sat for my likeness perhaps 1 1/4 hour. Very well satisfied with the sketch. There is something so very characteristic in the figure. Paid for it, 2 guineas... Neither Mrs Rawson nor Catherine thought it a good likeness. Found great fault with the mouth &, at first, with almost every part of the whole thing. Thursday 21 November [Halifax] ...Went to Mrs Taylor... sat nearly an hour during which she closed the mouth, improved the picture exceedingly & made it an admirable likeness... Got home at 2.25. The likeness struck me as so strong I could not help laughing. My aunt came up & laughed too, agreeing that the likeness was capital. Ditto my uncle. We are all satisfied, let others say what they may." Anne Lister reveals her true feelings nine months later: 30 August 1823 "Mrs Taylor's sketch of me, like a person afraid of speaking. Too foolish looking. Could not bear it. Not at all characteristic."
