Scholarly Commentary
Introduction
Mrs. Morris is seated, facing right, with her head bent slightly
down. Her hands are in her lap. The picture is virtually the mirror image
of
“Jane Morris seated,
half length [1]”
, where Mrs. Morris faces left in much the same pose. The
latter is also much more closely cropped. It is also closely related to
“Jane Morris seated,
half length [3]”
—another closely cropped shot, this one with
Mrs. Morris also facing to the right, but with her back turned more
toward the camera.
