A framed painting by Sarah Purser entitled "Girl with Red Hair".

Sarah Purser (22 March 1848 to 7 August 1943) was an Irish artist. She was born in Kingstown, now Dun Laoghaire, in County Dublin, and raised in Dungarvan, County Waterford. She was educated in Switzerland and afterwards studied at the Metropolitan School of Art in Dublin and in Paris at the Academie Julian. She worked mostly as a portraitist. Through her talent and energy, and owing to her friendship with the Gore Booths, she was very successful in obtaining many commissions. She was very active in the art world in Dublin and was involved in the setting up of the Hugh Lane Municipal Gallery, persuading the Irish government to provide Charlemont House to house the gallery. In 1923 she became the first female member of the Royal Hibernian Academy.
