Harriet Jane Moore


Harriet Jane Carrick Moore 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.
She was the eldest of the five children of James Carrick Moore and Harriet Henderson. She was the niece of Sir John Moore, a British army general in the Peninsular war.
