Helen Faucit as Antigone, in watercolour on paper, by Frederic William Burton, 1845.

A tall figure in cream drapery rests one hand on a bronze tripod, a laurel wreath held low in the other, her gaze turned away to the left. The actress Helen Faucit (1817–1898) played Antigone on the London stage, and Burton painted her in the role at the scale of an oil portrait — a sheet 96 × 63 cm — in soft washes that let the pale paper glow through the folds of her dress. This work is in the collection of the National Gallery of Ireland.

Frederic William Burton (1816–1900), born in County Clare, was the finest Irish watercolourist of his century and later director of the National Gallery in London. The Meeting on the Turret Stairs, his best-known work, hangs in the National Gallery of Ireland.
