About the Item

An intimate portrait study by William Mainwaring Palin (1862-1947) depicting a young Edith Sitwell in a flowing green dress, striking a powerful full-length pose. Palin renders Sitwell with loose, expressive brushwork characteristic of the figurative movement. The composition employs a rich palette of warm reds and earth tones that contrast dramatically with the deep green of her attire, whilst the soft treatment of light creates an atmospheric quality throughout. Sitwell was a popular subject for many notable portrait artists, including John Singer Sargent and Roger Fry. The painting is well presented in a bold gilt effect frame with moulded profile, finished with a bead and reel running pattern. Signed upper right. Further inscribed, initialled and dated '1913' verso. Provenance: Swiftsden House, East Sussex. On panel. Image size: 32.5 x 25.5cm.
