William Holman Hunt, Portrait of Mrs. Edith Holman Hunt, 1880
From the Tate Gallery:

Edith Holman Hunt was the artist’s second wife, the sister of his first wife Fanny. It was a union prohibited under British law, and the couple had been forced to marry on the Continent. The drawing is a subtle psychological likeness of Edith and may be seen as an independent portrait. However, the pose is almost identical to that of the Virgin Mary in Hunt’s large painting The Triumph of the Innocents of 1883–4, and was probably intended as a study for this work. Of all the head studies the artist made in relation to the composition, this drawing approximates most to the head in the finished painting.
