Millais had made his mark as a member of the Pre-Raphaelite Brotherhood, but his work altered to reflect a more mainstream academic style. Towards the latter stages of his career he produced a number of fashionable high society portraits. In this picture, Millais depicts Sullivan as an elegant figure of the late Victorian era.^[2]

Sullivan bequeathed the painting to the National Portrait Gallery in London, where it remains on display.^[3]
