A portrait of Charles Stewart Parnell (1846-1891) who was born into an Anglo-Irish Protestant family in County Wicklow and became an Irish nationalist politician who served as a Member of Parliament from 1875 to 1891. He became leader of the Home Rule League operating independently of the Liberal Party and winning great influence by his balancing of constitutional, radical, and economic issues, and by his skillful use of parliamentary procedure. He became leader of the Irish Parliamentary Party that held the balance of power in the House of Commons during the Home Rule debates of 1885–1886.
