Harriet Jane Moore

Harriet Jane Moore (1801-1884) was a British watercolour artist who is remembered 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 The Institution of Engineering and Technology.

She was the daughter of James Carrick Moore (1762-1840) and Harriet Henderson (1779-1866), the eldest of 5 children. She was the niece of Sir John Moore the British army general in the Peninsular war.
