Have you seen this woman?
February 22 2011
The new edition of the British Art Journal is out (Vol. XI, No.2), and it contains an appeal for information on the above painting. Yasmin Arshad is writing an article for a forthcoming BAJ on the possible identity of the portrait, and she is heading in the direction of Lady Anne Clifford.
Also in the BAJ is;
- A splendidly thorough article by David Wilson on Michael Rysbrack's bust of the Earl of Orkney (which is now on loan at the V&A).
- An article by Stephanie Roberts and Robert Tittle on the elusive Stuart provincial portraitist 'T.Leigh'. This contains a checklist of up to 20 possible Leigh portraits, a commendable task in these days of unfashionable connoisseurship.
- A reconstruction of William and Catherine Blake's residence in South Molton Street, by Angus Whitehead.
- An overview of the British paintings in the Doha Orientalist Museum, by Howard J M Hanley.
Well worth a read; you can order one here.
