Description
Sarah Siddons was an 18th and 19th century British actress. Indeed, she was among the most famous actresses of her time. However, her personal life was difficult. She outlived five of her seven children and eventually separated from her husband. This portrait is considered the best and defining portrait of the famous actress. It was painted in 1784 by Joshua Reynolds. Today, it hangs in the Huntington Art Gallery on the grounds of the Huntington Library.
