A lady reading
Haden, Francis Seymour, 1818-1910 · [1858]
Deborah Haden is portrayed in profile while reading; the position of the book suggests that she was afflicted with weak eyes early in life. The scene is the Haden's music room and closely resembles [James McNeill] Whistler's "Reading by Lamplight" (Edward G. Kennedy: K. 32).
