Blank greetings card with envelope featuring:

Onora Sylvia O'Neill, Baroness O'Neill of Bengarve NPG 6681

© National Portrait Gallery, London

by Victoria Russell

O'Neill took an active interest in the portrait making process and requested an artist who could paint women with an understated approach. Russell has successfully achieved this through a stripping away of the background and focus on the subject, who sits slightly below the artist's sightline. Sittings began in the laundry room at Newnham College, the only room that provided northern light, and were continued at the artist's East London studio.
