    Isa Tyde, La belle Irlandaise (circa 1890)

    Jean-Louis Forain (French, 1852–1931)

    A young Irish woman gazes past the frame, her expression caught between defiance and melancholy. The loose brushstrokes soften her features, yet her piercing eyes hold steady. A hint of green at her collar whispers of homeland.
