Norah Hill was the daughter of the Anglo-Irish military officer and politician Lord George Hill and his first wife, Cassandra Jane Knight, a niece of Jane Austen. In 1859 she married Captain Somerset Ward, the fifth son of the Edward Southwell Ward, 3rd Viscount Bangor. The couple had one child, a daughter, also named Norah. Slattery’s portrait of the young Norah Hill is one of the few paintings that can be definitively given to the Irish artist, who exhibited at the Royal Hibernian Academy between 1852 and 1858 and is then believed to have emigrated to America.
