(Marion Margaret) Violet Manners (née Lindsay), Duchess of Rutland 
(1856-1937), Artist; wife of 8th Duke of Rutland


This next piece of work was produced by Violet Manners  who was one of the first exhibitors at the Grosvenor Gallery when it opened in 1877, Violet  made many portraits of men and women. Drawings of people in her social circle. Above is a portrait which she produced I found this piece related to me as I enjoy sketches and portraits of people, the shades of a picture give me the realist effect of drawing, therefore the detail of this artwork lead me to study it much further.
