Jane Morris seated in plush chair

Mrs. Morris outdoors, slumped in plush chair facing the camera, under cloth canopy. Her left hand is curled back over her left shoulder, her right rests on her knee. Off to the right edge of the picture is visible a chair with a shawl or some sort of drapery thrown over it. A second print, uncropped and printed darker, is identified in the Victoria and Albert records as a modern print; this is the original (1865) print.

The picture is closely related to “Jane Morris reclining on divan”, which incorporates the same setting from a radically different point of view.
