About the Item
This charming late 19th-century portrait by British artist Eden Upton Eddis (1812-1901) depicts a young Muriel Paget Bowman (c.1876-1928), the daughter of Sir William Paget Bowman, a barrister, and Lady Emily Bowman (née Swabey).
Eden Upton Eddis was a highly accomplished portraitist who exhibited regularly at the Royal Academy. As we see here, underpinning his talent with oils, he was primarily a superb draughtsman. There’s something a little Pre-Raphaelite about this image and it’s less conventional than many of his other works. There’s imagination, a story - a timeless quality.
It’s interesting that Muriel’s grandfather, Sir William Bowman, commissioned the design of an Arts and Crafts style house (Joldwynds), which was lauded by many architects. Perhaps the Paget Bowmans were also admirers of the Brotherhood - the portrait would fit well within that context.
The National Portrait Gallery holds over 100 works by Eddis and this is a good example of his skill with charcoal.
Muriel Paget Bowman married Samuel Forde Redley (1862-1944), an MP, in 1896 and the couple had three children. She hailed from Paddington, Middlesex.

- French 19th Century Romantic Period 1830s Parisian Lady Portrait Madame SeguinBy Adele GrassetLocated in Norwich, GBA stunning portrait of a Parisian beauty from the romantic period by Adele Grasset (active ca 1830-1850). With her intelligent eyes and determined look, doesn't this lady bear great resemblance to Chopin's paramour George Sand? The sitter is Jeanne Marie Vidal, wife of Claude Auguste Seguin, from a prominent family in Avignon, as the family tree attached to the back for the frame indicates. Research in old annals has also revealed that Madame Seguin was a modern and independent lady: she worked in lady's fashion in Paris, and patented wrapping mechanism that protected lady's hats during their transport! As often with woman artists of the 18th and 19th century, there is little biographical information available on the artist, Adèle Grasset. We do know however, that she had studied with the highly prominent artist François Gérard (1770-1837) , known also as the Baron Gérard...Category
