Description |
Full length portrait of a woman in white classical style gown; rown upswept hair with 3 hairbands; wears white gown, criss cross bands bodice front, clasps each shoulder; thonged sandals. Working near New York City allowed Charles Noel Flagg to become a leading portrait painter. His commissions from celebrities, politicians, and wealthy socialites provided a good income. This untitled work is one of Flagg’s finest and largest paintings. Its delicate, silvery palette contrasts with his typical dark backgrounds and restrained postures. Though extensively researched by collaborators both on and off campus, the identity of this woman remains a mystery. |
