Legacy
A ward in St Patrick's Hospital is named “Vanessa” in her honor.
Pre-Raphaelite artist John Everett Millais painted a fancy portrait of her in 1868, over 100 years after her death: Vanessa. The painting depicts Esther holding a letter, presumably written to or from Swift.
Margaret Louisa Woods wrote a novel inspired by her life titled Esther Vanhomrigh (1891).
