Traquair was one of the most talented artists working within the movement known as the celtic revival. Influenced by the pre-raphaelites, she painted murals for several religious and charitable organisations in edinburgh, including the catholic apostolic church in broughton street. She was also a brilliant embroiderer and made exquisite enamel jewellery. Her self-portrait seems quite private and personal, but also hints at a nervous energy. Object Type: painting. Date: 1911.
