Thomas and Anna Haslam by Sarah Cecilia Harrison | Irish Art Print

An elderly couple seated close, shoulder to shoulder — Thomas in a black cap and full white beard, a sheet of paper held in both hands; Anna in a black bonnet and white lace shawl, her gaze turned away to the left. Harrison paints the Dublin suffrage campaigners Thomas and Anna Haslam with Anna almost wholly in shadow, and inscribes their ages at the top: eighty-two and seventy-nine.

Thomas Haslam (1825–1917) and Anna Haslam (1829–1922) gave their lives to the cause of votes for women in Ireland. In December 1918, ten years after this portrait, Harrison escorted Anna, then eighty-nine, to cast her first vote in a general election. The painting, dated 1908, is in the collection of the Hugh Lane Gallery, Dublin (Lane Gift, 1912).

Suits a study, hallway or reading room, and makes a thoughtful gift for anyone with a feeling for Irish history. Every print is made to order and shipped worldwide. See the full Sarah Cecilia Harrison collection.
