I promise this is the last post I will write about my recent trip to Graves Gallery, and I will use this weekend to find some more things that I like.
This little painting is by Thomas Lowinsky and is of the feminist actress, writer and suffragette Cicely Hamilton. Hamilton also co-founded the Women Writers' Suffrage League. I loved the painting because of how finely detailed and descriptive it is, each hair and wrinkle is finely painted and the flesh is given weight and character. It's not the kind of painting I'd normally be drawn to but once I'd started, I couldn't stop looking at it.
