| Description |
Etching by Monzies after a portrait by George Frederick Watts (1817-1904). Lindsay is depicted three-quarter-length, wearing a dress with bustle, playing a violin, her left side with head turned towards the viewer. Lindsay was a poet, painter and gallery owner. The daughter of Rt. Hon. Henry Fitzroy and Hannah Mayer Rothschild, who married Sir Coutts Lindsay in 1864. Together they founded the Grosvenor Gallery in 1878, although their separation led to its closure in 1890 and the founding of the New Gallery. She regularly exhibited at both of these venues, as well as the New Watercolour Society. On her death, she bequeathed nineteen pictures to the National Gallery, of which twelve were accepted, one being a drawing of the young Mozart by Carmontelle. |
