Descrizione dettagliata lotto

'A beautiful woman is one of the marvels of creation, and adequate portrayal a matter of extreme difficulty...I have been remarkably lucky in getting models with what might be called Artemisian figures...Ever since, forty-three years ago, the curtain was drawn aside to reveal my first model they have played an essential part in my work. Creatures of romance to many, to most painters they are good, hard-working, honourable girls.' (Sir W. Russell Flint in A. Palmer, More than Shadows, London and New York, 1943, p. 38).
