Mary Somerville NPG 316a(115)

by Sir Francis Leggatt Chantrey

These drawings of the mathematician and scientist Mary Somerville were made in preparation for the marble bust commissioned by the Royal Society to mark the publication of The Mechanism of the Heavens (1831), on modern mathematical physics. As a woman, she was debarred from the membership of the Society. Her other works include On the Connection of the Physical Sciences (1834) and Somerville College, University of Oxford, is named in her honour. The marble bust is in the Royal Society, London.
