Annie Besant at Her Writing Desk
Annie Besant sits sideways in an armchair with a pen poised above papers on a small writing surface. Her embroidered clothing is sharply detailed against the dark studio background. The printed caption names Mrs Annie Besant; the portrait accompanies the journal’s comparison of her public character and Theosophical work with Blavatsky’s.
