Description
Artist George Dury painted his daughter Augusta Dury’s portrait at the time of her marriage in 1872. It appears that the photograph taken of her that same year was used as a reference for the painting. Using a photograph as an aid greatly reduces the number of sittings required to complete a painted portrait. While the photograph captures an accurate likeness, the painted portrait allows the artist a broader range of creative expression and the ability to render the likeness in color.
