Standard Name: Hardy, Iza Duffus
Birth Name: Iza Duffus Hardy
IDH published, during the later nineteenth century, a large output of novels of a romantic cast. She set some of them in exotic places, and also wrote travel books and contributed stories and other pieces to periodicals.
Portrait of Iza Duffus Hardy by Ford Madox Ford, 1872. She sits in an upholstered armchair, wearing a black dress with lace at wrists and neckline (finished with a black brooch), a gold-coloured shawl, and several strings of blue beads. Her hair is plaited and forms a crown around her head. Her fingers are interlaced, and she looks modestly down, away from the viewer.
