Winifred Bulwer by Evelyn De Morgan

Evelyn De Morgan only made 7 portraits. In 2023, the De Morgan Foundation was able to acquire this picture for the collection.

In its original frame, it is a beautiful artwork which was treasured by the family.

You can now see it on display at the De Morgan Museum at Cannon Hall.
