It is a wonder to me that the artist of this highly accomplished little portrait cannot be found listed anywhere. It does happen occasionally but short of the painter using a pseudonym to dodge a gallery contract – as often happened – or a joker adding their name for some spurious reason, I’m at a loss. Anyway courtesy of an American dealer friend and a bit of TLC from our professional restorers here she is, an anonymous 1950s beauty with no past.
