EDITORS COMMENTS
This sketch captures the essence of Anne Lister, a remarkable figure from the 19th century. With her high collar and powerful gaze, she exudes strength and independence. As a wealthy landowner of Shibden Hall in Yorkshire, Anne Lister defied societal norms and embraced her identity as a lesbian woman. The artist skillfully portrays Anne's pale complexion and half-length figure, emphasizing her presence within the frame. Clad in a brown jacket with intricate brocade details, she emanates elegance and sophistication. This painting is not just an ordinary portrait; it represents an important piece of queer history. Anne Lister was not only known for her unconventional sexuality but also for her diaries that documented her daily life experiences as well as her travels and mountaineering adventures. Her writings provide invaluable insights into the lives of LGBTQ+ individuals during this era. Displayed by Calderdale Museums Service in West Yorkshire, UK, this artwork serves as a reminder of Anne Lister's legacy as one of Britain's most influential landowners who lived authentically despite societal pressures. It is no wonder that she has gained renewed recognition through popular culture references such as "Gentleman Jack". Bridgeman Images' print allows us to appreciate both the artistic talent behind this sketch and its historical significance in celebrating LGBTQ+ icons like Anne Lister.
