Archive Label (previous attribution): An aristocratic amateur photographer, Lady Clementina Hawarden was a well-regarded portraitist in mid-Victorian England. Hawarden was best known for her intimate domestic portraits (mostly of her daughters), which have a sensuality and aura of melancholy that is reminiscent of the Pre-Raphaelite aestheticirca Her work, the subject of a recent exhibition at the V&A in London, has only recently begun to receive the critical attention it deserves.
