PORTRAIT OF DAME MILLICENT GARRETT FAWCETT (WESTMINSTER).

Images: (Westminster) Richard Taylor Fine Art / (Tate) Jonathan Russell.

One of two portraits Annie is known to have painted of Dame Millicent. The screen in the background is in different positions in the two versions, and the sitter also appears to be wearing different rings (Westminster left, Tate right).

The Tate version, aquired in 1930, is a slightly larger work.
