John Kells Ingram (1823-1907): A Portrait in Pastel by Sarah Henrietta Purser (1848-1943) This pastel portrait captures the intellectual and literary figure of John Kells Ingram (1823-1907). The image, created by the talented Irish artist Sarah Henrietta Purser (1848-1943) in 1890, beautifully conveys the depth and complexity of Ingram's character. John Kells Ingram was a renowned Irish scholar, author, and antiquarian, whose contributions to Irish literature and history were significant. He was a fellow of Trinity College Dublin and served as the University's Librarian and Proctor. Ingram was also a prolific writer, publishing numerous works on Irish history, folklore, and literature. In this portrait, Sarah Henrietta Purser expertly captures Ingram's serious and contemplative demeanor. The artist's skillful use of pastel on paper creates a lifelike representation of Ingram's furrowed brow, expressive eyes, and the intricate details of his clothing. The muted colors and soft textures of the pastel medium add an intimate and personal touch to the portrait.

She was known for her portraits and landscapes, which showcased her exceptional talent and unique artistic vision.
