This is Lady Jane Kelly, Sir Gerald Kelly's wife and also my great, great Aunt. She was a famous model in her time. This is my favourite picture of her.
Collected here are works by artists who are forgotten, under appreciated, or little known, as well as news, reviews and ephemera from the corners of art history. Works of startling quality can be found beyond the big names in the visual arts, whether it is just one exceptional work, an area of an artists oeuvre, or an entire career worth re-examining.

Great find! I'm glad you posted this work, I love the colors and the way the face was painted!
Yes, the face is almost photographic isn't it? I wonder who she was?!
Beautiful portrait!
