The date when this was painted is unknown – anytime from 1899 (the date Millicent Fawcett became an honorary doctor of law) to c. 1920.

“Half of the portrait was painted in the garden of Dame Millicent’s house in [2] Gower Street [Bloomsbury] and the other half at her [Annie’s] own home” (Elizabeth Crawford in Woman and her Sphere).

A slightly smaller ‘Portrait of Dame Millicent Fawcett, in academical gown’ is mentioned in the posthumous studio sale of 1934, and is assumed to be the version now in the Palace of Westminster – that version is named ‘Portrait of Dame Millicent Garrett Fawcett (Westminster)‘ on this web site.
