Sitting for her Portrait (1893). John William Godward (British, 1861-1922). Oil on canvas.

Sitting for her Portrait was exhibited at the Royal Academy in London in 1893, where it was met with praise. One journalist for The Photographic News described the work as “almost a revelation,” and compared it to the work of Sir Lawrence Alma-Tadema, the giant of Victorian painting whom Godward devotedly followed: “it is as good as a picture by Tadema himself.”
