Bring a landmark figure of Irish cultural history into your space with this refined Collector’s Edition reproduction of Portrait of Dr Douglas Hyde (1860–1949) by Sarah Henrietta Purser (1848–1943).

Purser—one of Ireland’s most accomplished portraitists and founder of the An Túr Gloine stained-glass studio—renders Hyde with exceptional sensitivity and restraint. The portrait conveys intellectual authority and moral calm, reflecting a lifetime devoted to the Irish language, the Gaelic Revival, and Hyde’s historic role as Ireland’s first President.
