Katherine Isabella Hare

Description

This piece shows Katherine Hare (previously Katherine McDowell) later in life, seated, facing the viewer, with her hands folded in her lap. She is wearing a black dress and a purple neck band.

Creator

Bertha May Ingle

Date

Possibly 1908: During Ingle's first stint as a teacher at the OLC, this would match with the approximate age of the subject. It is also possible this was a study for the larger portrait which was done after the subject passed in 1922 and currently hangs at the Trafalgar Castle School, this would mean it was painted during Ingle's second stint at the OLC.
