Portrait of 'Mad Margery', including frame
Unknown artist
Portrait of Mad Margery, a young woman driven mad and living in the fields. Mad Margery, wearing patched clothes, holding flowers, with straw in her hair and dirt on her face, her eyes watery with tears, her right shoulder exposed. In the background, a ruined abbey. Her character may have been taken from a popular song 'Poor Mad Margery' c.1790-1800.
