Valentine Cameron Prinsep, Mary Wyndham (1870)

A portrait of eight-year-old Mary in Cumberland by the Wyndhams’ friend Val Prinsep, in the flat, chalky style characteristic of their artistic circle, shows a tall, round-eyed beautiful child. In wide straw hat and loose mustard yellow dress, she gazes directly at the viewer, bundling in her skirts armfuls of flowers. One of Mary’s earliest childhood adventures was scrambling after her father through thick heather up Skiddaw, the mountain dominating the Cumbrian skyline, with a trail of dogs in search of grouse; then sleeping overnight in a little lodge perched on the mountainside. In adulthood, Mary wrote lyrically of “the club & stag, the moss, the oak & beech fern, bog myrtle, & grass of Parnassus — Skiddaw in his splendid majesty — covered with ‘purple patches’ (of heather) with deep greens & russet reds & swept by the shadows of the clouds — my heart leaps up — when I behold — Skiddaw — against the sky...” Mary believed her Cumberland childhood had made her a lifelong “pagan,” fearlessly finding freedom in wildness. She mourned “beloved Isel” (Isel Hall being the Elizabethan manor to which the family moved from Cockermouth Castle in 1870) when the Wyndhams finally gave it up in 1876. Ever after, Cumberland was a lost Arcadia to her. — Claudia Renton, Those Wild Wyndhams

MWW Artwork of the Day (10/1/20) Valentine Cameron Prinsep (British, 1838–1904) Ayesha (1887) Oil on canvas, 90.2 x 69.8 cm. The Tate Gallery, London

Many Victorian artists were fascinated by Middle Eastern cultures, which seemed strange and ‘exotic’ to British eyes. Ayesha was a common name in the Middle East, but Prinsep may also have been aware of the name’s wider association with poetry. Rider Haggard’s book She, published in the same year that the portrait was exhibited at the Royal Academy, featured a fictional character Queen Ayesha; it is possible that this is intended as a portrayal of her.

One of the wives of the prophet Mohammad was also called Ayesha, though there is nothing in the painting to suggest this portrait was associated with her. For Prinsep, the single female figure subject provided a vehicle for his skilled drapery painting and sumptuous use of colour. (from the Tate catalog)
