EDITORS COMMENTS
This portrait, titled "Portrait of Sarah Scarvell, nee Redmond, 1855" captures the essence of a remarkable woman from Australia's colonial history. Painted by Richard Noble in oil on canvas, this print showcases the stunning details and intricate brushwork that bring Sarah Scarvell to life. Sarah Scarvell was born in Sydney in 1809 to Edward and Winefred Redmond, both emancipists who had been transported to Australia for their crimes. As the second daughter of this pioneering couple, Sarah's story is one of resilience and strength. In this half-length portrait, we see Sarah exuding confidence and grace. Her Victorian-era attire reflects her status as a first-generation Australian woman navigating a society shaped by British influences. The artist skillfully captures every nuance of her expression – an intriguing mix of determination and vulnerability. The painting also offers glimpses into Sarah's family history. We learn about her older sister Mary and stepbrother John Redmond (formerly Jean de Riveau), who became known figures in their own right. As we gaze upon this artwork housed at the Mitchell Library within the State Library of New South Wales, we are transported back in time to witness a pivotal moment in Australian social history. This print serves as a testament to the strength and resilience exhibited by women like Sarah Scarvell during an era defined by hardship and opportunity alike.
