Harriet Jane Moore
Template:Short description Template:Use dmy dates
Harriet Jane Carrick Moore (1801 – 6 March 1884)[1] was a British watercolour artist who is best known for her drawings of Michael Faraday's work at the Royal Institution. She documented his apartment, study, and laboratory in a series of watercolour paintings in the early 1850s. Letters between Faraday and Moore survive at the Institution of Engineering and Technology. She, and her family, were close with the Swiss-born artist Henry Fuseli.[2]
She was the eldest of the five children of James Carrick Moore (1762–1860) and Harriet Henderson (1779–1866). She was the niece of Sir John Moore, a British army general in the Peninsular War,[3] and the granddaughter of the actor John Henderson.
