The story of Lady Agnew of Lochnaw

Lady Agnew of Lochnaw is an oil-on-canvas portrait painted by John Singer Sargent in 1892. It depicts Gertrude Agnew (née Vernon), the wife of Sir Andrew Noel Agnew, 9th Baronet of Lochnaw, who had commissioned the work. Shown at the Royal Academy in 1893, the portrait was widely praised and helped establish Sargent as the leading society portraitist of his generation. The painting is held by the National Galleries of Scotland in Edinburgh.
