Jessica Hayllar (1858-1940) was one of five daughters of the artist James Hayllar. "Jessica was the eldest daughter of James Hayllar, and the sister of Edith, Mary and Kate Hayllar, all of whom, remarkably, exhibited at the Royal Academy. Jessica was arguably the most talented and prolific of the siblings and exhibited there for 25 years between 1880 and 1915. Her tour de force, A Coming Event, was one of the most enthusiastically received pictures in the sale of The Forbes Collection of Victorian Pictures, Christie's, London, 20 February 2003, lot 267, where it sold for £120,000. The family lived at Castle Priory, Wallingford, on the banks of the Thames, and many of their pictures depict the happy, settled, domestic life they enjoyed there."

Many of her paintings of the 1880s and through 1900 were of domestic scenes, with each aspect of interior decoration carefully observed and finely painted.
