"Portrait of Mrs. Henry Francis Makins in Fancy Dress" is a notable work by the Austrian painter Anton Romako (1832–1889), who is recognized for his significant contribution to the development of Austrian art in the late 19th century. Romako, known for his unconventional style and expressive use of color, often depicted his subjects with a psychological depth that was ahead of his time. This particular portrait, painted in the latter part of the 19th century, captures Mrs. Henry Francis Makins, whose identity beyond her marriage to Mr. Makins remains largely unrecorded in historical documents.

The painting is characterized by Romako's distinctive brushwork and his departure from the academic norms of portraiture. Mrs. Makins is depicted in an elaborate fancy dress costume, which was a popular subject for affluent sitters seeking to showcase their wealth and status through art. The attire and accessories worn by Mrs. Makins in the portrait would have been carefully chosen to reflect her social standing and possibly her personal interests or allegiances.

Romako's approach to the portrait may reflect the influence of the Symbolist movement, with its emphasis on the symbolic representation of subjects, as well as a prelude to early Expressionism, given the emotional intensity conveyed through the subject's gaze and posture. The painting stands as an example of Romako's skill in blending realism with a more subjective, individualistic portrayal of his sitters.

While the painting is a significant piece within Romako's oeuvre, details about its commission, provenance, and current location are not extensively documented. The scarcity of information about Mrs. Makins and the painting's history after its completion may pose challenges to art historians seeking to place the work within a broader cultural and historical context. Nevertheless, "Portrait of Mrs. Henry Francis Makins in Fancy Dress" remains an important work for the study of Anton Romako's artistic legacy and the evolution of portrait painting in Austria during a period of stylistic transition.
