Painted portrait of Ella Carmichael (1870–1928), a Gaelic scholar, editor, and translator. She is seated in a wooden chair, wearing an elegant, polka-dotted gown with lace trim and a green beaded necklace. She holds a scroll in one hand and sits beside a desk filled with papers and books. Carmichael was editor of the Celtic Review from 1904 to 1916 and played a key role in founding the Celtic Union and the Women Students’ Celtic Society in Edinburgh.
