An oil on canvas painting of a woman dressed in a beautiful white or silver gown in the style of the 1800s, sitting on a large and plush couch, holding a large wooden harp in her lap that she is playing as she looks directly at the artist. There are volumes of velvet curtain behind her, a book of music on the couch next to her, and other rich looking furnishings around the room.
Today we’re sharing this beautiful portrait of Miss Catherine O’Conor and her harp for our second post in #MusicMarch!
Did you know that Ireland is the only country to have a musical instrument (the harp) as its national symbol?
