Anne Emily Sophia Grant (known as ‘Daisy’ Grant), Mrs William Markham (1857). Francis Grant (Scottish, 1803-1878). Oil on canvas. Scottish National Gallery.Grant’s affectionate depiction of his daughter was painted just before Daisy’s marriage to Colonel William Markham. In depicting his daughter, Grant was unconstrained by the demands of a commission. For a mid-century portrait by a painter at the heart of the artistic and social establishment, it is startlingly direct. -- source link
