This work was originally designed for Beloved, an exhibition at Plas Newydd Historic House and Gardens in Llangollen (Wales). This highly decorated cottage orne was home to Lady Eleanor Butler (1739–1829) and Sarah Ponsonby (1755–1831), who eloped from their families in Ireland to begin a life of exquisite retirement together, escaping the confines of their gendered fates of marriage and the convent. Here they lived together as life partners, with their maid and friend Mary Caryl in an extraordinary rural domesticity.
