This exquisite piece of art, housed in the Manchester Art Gallery, UK, showcases Caroline Elizabeth Sarah Norton (1808-77), an influential figure in British society during the Victorian era. Caroline Norton was not only known for her exceptional beauty but also for her remarkable contributions as a feminist, social reformer, and author.

The oval-shaped composition emphasizes their close bond as sisters while highlighting each individual's unique personality. The artist skillfully captures their refined features and fashionable attire of the time. Etty's attention to detail brings out the essence of femininity and sisterhood within this masterpiece. The triple portrait serves as a testament to the strength and unity shared among these honourable women.
