The "Portrait of Dame Ellen Terry (1847-1928)" is an evocative painting created around 1864 by the renowned British artist George Frederick Watts. This portrait captures the youthful essence of Ellen Terry, who would later become one of the most celebrated actresses of the Victorian era. At the time the portrait was painted, Terry was in her late teens, and her burgeoning talent and striking beauty were already evident, making her a compelling subject for Watts.

George Frederick Watts, a prominent figure in the Victorian art world, was known for his allegorical works and portraits that often conveyed deep psychological insight. His portrayal of Ellen Terry is no exception. The painting is characterized by its delicate brushwork and the subtle interplay of light and shadow, which highlight Terry's expressive features and luminous complexion. Watts' ability to capture the sitter's inner life is evident in the contemplative and somewhat melancholic expression on Terry's face, suggesting a depth of character and emotional complexity.

The relationship between Watts and Terry was both professional and personal. Watts, significantly older than Terry, married her in 1864, the same year the portrait was likely completed. However, their marriage was short-lived, lasting less than a year. Despite the brevity of their union, the portrait remains a testament to the connection between the artist and his muse during a formative period in Terry's life.

This painting is not only a significant work within Watts' oeuvre but also an important piece in the history of British portraiture. It offers a glimpse into the early life of Ellen Terry, who would go on to achieve great acclaim on the stage, and reflects the artistic milieu of the time. The portrait is held in high regard for its artistic merit and its historical significance, capturing a moment in the life of one of the theatre's most enduring icons.
