Emily Brontë - Portrait of an Author
The second of a mini collection of my favourite female authors of the past, Emily Brontë. Like Jane Austen, there are few authentic portraits of Emily Brontë and a lot of interpretations. I try to go as close to the source as possible. The most reliable one, in my opinion, is of the three sisters painted by their brother Branwell. Anne is on the left, Emily is in the center and Charlotte is on the right. I also pulled out images of the family to examine the genetic traits. Maria, Emily's mother was British and her father Patrick was from Ireland.
