Her intention is to outwit the moneylender Shylock in court and prevent him from extracting the cruel and unreasonable loan penalty of a “pound of flesh.” Millais depicted model Kate Dolan in the costume worn by famed actress Ellen Terry in her incarnation of the role. X-rays and traces of earlier brushwork indicate that underneath the composition is a study of the same figure in ancient Greek dress. Millais painted this picture forty years into a career that saw him develop from an artistic firebrand into one of Britain’s most eminent painters.\" - (\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.metmuseum.org\/art\/collection\/search\/437092\" target=\"_blank\" title=\"The Metropolitan Museum of Art New York - Portia\" rel=\"noopener\"\u003eThe Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York\u003c\/a\u003e)\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Sir John Everett Millais","offers":[{"title":"No Size Selected (Select a Size)","offer_id":49888181813491,"sku":null,"price":0.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Replica Size (49 1\/4\" x 33\")","offer_id":49888181846259,"sku":null,"price":2600.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Signature Size (21 7\/8\" x 14 5\/8\")","offer_id":49888181879027,"sku":null,"price":695.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Classic Size (26 3\/4\" x 17 7\/8\")","offer_id":49888181911795,"sku":null,"price":895.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Gallery Size (32 3\/4\" x 21 7\/8\")","offer_id":49888181944563,"sku":null,"price":1295.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Statement Size (42 3\/8\" x 28 3\/8\")","offer_id":49888181977331,"sku":null,"price":1995.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Grand Size (50 3\/4\" x 33 7\/8\")","offer_id":49888182010099,"sku":null,"price":2795.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Estate Size (59 7\/8\" x 40 1\/8\")","offer_id":49888182042867,"sku":null,"price":3695.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Museum Size (71 7\/8\" x 48\")","offer_id":49888182075635,"sku":null,"price":4995.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0827\/5738\/6483\/files\/Portia.jpg?v=1785982607","url":"https:\/\/commissionedpaintings.com\/products\/portia","provider":"Commissioned Paintings","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
