Catalogue Note
Wentworth notes that "This portrait of Mrs. Newton (was) one of the most popular of Tissot's prints during his lifetime. The title of the print refers to the Victorian song Kathleen Mavourneen, a pseudo-Irish cri d'adieu that enjoyed perennial popularity, and was presumably intended as a tribute to Mrs. Newton's status as une de ces ravissantes irlandaise."
