The frame is marked 'Presented to Mrs Dan Davies in Recognition of Her Husband's Services to the Cause of Music, February 1896'. This portrait hung in the Davies's family home in the Walk, It was featured in the BBC programme 'Coming Home: Rolf Harris'.

The Harris family owned a portrait studio in Merthyr Tydfil during the late nineteenth century. George later moved to Cardiff and opened a studio in Queen Street. After World War One he and his family emigrated to Australia. The Museum is fortunate enough to have a number of George Frederick Harris paintings as well as a painting by his grandson, Rolf Harris.
