Stylized portrait of Muriel MacSwiney with purple and green color overlay against a gradient purple background. Muriel MacSwiney was an Irish political activist and the widow of Terence MacSwiney. She is shown in early 20th-century attire, with dark hair neatly styled, wearing a high-collared blouse and jacket. Her expression is calm and composed, reflecting a formal studio portrait typical of the period.
