Download Image of Anne Lister Restoration - Public domain portrait painting. Free for commercial use, no attribution required. Watercolour portrait of Anne Lister of Shibden Hall. Probably the portrait painted by a Mrs Taylor on Wednesday 20 and Thursday November 1822, as described in Lister's diary: "Wednesday 20 November [Halifax] At 12:40, too George in the gig & drove to Mrs Taylor's. Sat for my likeness perhaps 1 1/4 hour. Very well satisfied with the sketch. There is something so very characteristic in the figure. Paid for it, 2 guineas... Neither Mrs Rawson nor Catherine thought it a good likeness. Found great fault with the mouth &, at first, with almost every part of the whole thing. Thursday 21 November [Halifax] ...Went to Mrs Taylor... sat nearly an hour during which she closed the mouth, improved the picture exceedingly & made it an admirable likeness... Got home at 2.25. The likeness struck me as so strong I could not help laughing. My aunt came up & laughed too, agreeing that the likeness was capital. Ditto my uncle. We are all satisfied, let others say what they may." Anne Lister reveals her true feelings nine months later: 30 August 1823 "Mrs Taylor's sketch of me, like a person afraid of speaking. Too foolish looking. Could not bear it. Not at all characteristic."

The revelation of Anne’s diaries forced a reassessment of lesbian history
We all know what famous personalities of the modern day look like, but it's a whole different topic when it comes to history. Most of them were portrayed by artists who were influenced by the trends and technologies of their day, and their own unique style was a factor too. It's not rare that one single person looked completely differently depending on the artist. So naturally, we come to wonder what they really looked like. And the current technology powered by computers and artificial intelligence offers an answer to that interest. And sometimes the answer looks so real it's even creepy. It's as if these historical personalities are our own contemporaries.

Anne Lister, curiosa y culta, aventurera y emprendedora, cautivadora e inquietante, divertida y seductora... La biografía de uno de los personajes más excéntricos, rebeldes y fascinantes del siglo XIX.«Un libro fascinante sobre una mujer extraordinaria».The Times«Combativa y valiente. Con este libro Angela Steidele retrata a una noble aristócrata inglesa amante de las mujeres y ávida de educación. La autora combina hábilmente diarios y cartas con sus propias investigaciones para crear una biografía erótica».Deutschlandfunk KulturAnne Lister (1791-1840) fue una ilustre aristócrata de Yorkshire, intrépida viajera, audaz empresaria y, en una época en la que ser mujer ya era una tarea difícil, vivió abiertamente su homosexualidad. Decidió vestir siempre de negro y hablar con naturalidad de su desinterés hacia los hombres. Fue la primera mujer que escaló el Vignemale en los escarpados Pirineos, viajó hasta el Cáucaso y dormía con una pistola bajo la almohada. Tan osada como Don Juan y tan apasionada como Heathcliff, Anne no permitió que las costumbres de la sociedad de la Regencia la limitaran: aunque a los ojos de todos permaneció soltera, unió su vida en matrimonio con su acaudalada vecina, Ann Walker, en 1834.Sus numerosos diarios permanecieron ocultos durante décadas antes de que se descifrara el código que inventó para dejar constancia de los detalles eróticos de sus prolíficas conquistas. Estas confesiones, junto con sus cartas, cuentan la historia de una mujer extraordinaria, pero también hacen un retrato detallado e invaluable de la época en la que vivió. En este libro, original y rompedor, la célebre autora Angela Steidele brinda una perspectiva nueva de este personaje tan peculiar y fascinante, cuyas proezas han sido llevadas incluso a una exitosa serie de televisión.
