EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisite portrait captures the grace and elegance of Lady Mary Elizabeth Burke (nee Calcraft) in the late 1850s. Lady Burke was the beloved wife of Sir John Burke, a prominent figure in Galway, Ireland, and the owner of Marble Hill, a grand estate located in the heart of the county. Born into the esteemed Calcraft family, Mary Elizabeth was known for her striking beauty and intelligence. Her marriage to Sir John Burke was a union of two powerful and influential families, and their union was celebrated throughout Galway society. The portrait shows Lady Burke in her prime, with her dark hair styled in intricate curls and her piercing blue eyes gazing directly at the viewer. She is dressed in the height of fashion for the time, with a flowing gown adorned with intricate lace and a delicate neckline that accentuates her graceful neck. The background of the portrait is simple, with a subtle floral pattern that adds a touch of elegance and refinement. Despite her privileged upbringing and marriage to a wealthy and influential man, Lady Burke was known for her kindness and generosity. She was a patron of the arts and a supporter of local charities, and her beauty and charm were said to have captivated all who met her. This portrait is a testament to the beauty and elegance of Lady Mary Elizabeth Burke, and a reminder of the rich history and culture of Galway, Ireland in the 19th century.
