She rests her arms on a stone balcony in heavy Renaissance dress, hair dressed high, the bottle-glass windows of old Venice behind her — gaze fixed somewhere just past us, unhurried and certain of herself.

Burton was still working on her in 1874 when Gladstone offered him the directorship of the National Gallery in London. He accepted, and all but stopped painting. The picture stayed in his studio, never exhibited in his lifetime; Dublin bought it in 1901, the year after he died.

About this work

A Venetian Courtesan was made by the Irish artist Frederic William Burton (1816–1900), born in Co. Clare, in 1873–74 — watercolour, gouache, chalk, pastel and graphite on paper, 95.5 × 68.5 cm. The costume and setting look back to Titian and Veronese. It hangs in the National Gallery of Ireland (NGI.2387), which also holds Burton's pencil study for it (NGI.19369). This print is an open edition, made to order and shipped worldwide.

Hangs well with

Burton could not tolerate the smell of oil paint, so the work is watercolour and drawing throughout — one hand, one medium.
