Portrait of Daisy Grant is an 1857 portrait painting by the British artist Francis Grant. [1] [2] It depicts the painter's daughter Anne Grant, always known as Daisy to the family. She is depicted against a snow-covered background. It is also known by the alternative title Mrs. Markham in reference to the sitter'a married name.

The painting was praised by fellow artist Richard Redgrave who observed "one of his portraits of most marked excellence is his daughter". [3] The work was displayed at the Royal Academy Exhibition of 1857 at the National Gallery in London. Today it is in the collection of the Scottish National Gallery in Edinburgh, having been acquired in 2005. [4]
