Sir Gerald Festus Kelly, K.C.V.O., P.R.A., R.H.A., H.R.S.A. (1879-1972)

Painted in 1907 or 1908. Kelly wrote to Charles Nalder, an early owner of the picture in 1959, explaining that this portrait was painted on the sitter's wedding night: 'She posed for me quite a lot. I have never seen a flatter face, and she was very attractive to paint. I have always called all the pictures of her 'The woman who married' and that is what you had better call her too'.
