Description:Agnes Macdonald (1843-1906) was one of the Macdonald sisters who lived at 14 Nursery Terrace in the early 1850s. A painting of the house by Beatrice Bullock is elsewhere on this site. Her father, George Browne Macdonald was a methodist preacher who was sent to Birmingham in 1850. This chalk and pencil drawing of Agnes is by her brother-in-law, Sir Edward Burne-Jones when she was in her early-twenties. Agnes married the artist Edward Poynter in 1860. Poynter went on to become President of the Royal Academy, Director of the National Gallery and was knighted in 1896. Georgiana, Agnes' sister married the Pre-Raphaelite painter Edward Burne-Jones in 1860. Another sister, Alice was the mother of Rudyard Kipling and a third, Louisa was the mother of Stanley Baldwin.
