Jean (McLane) MacLane
Portrait of Dorothy Thompson (The Wild Rose) - Female Artist

1926

About the Item

A charming portrait of a beautiful blue-eyed girl in a pink dress holding flowers in her hand. It's based on Renaissance portraits where the subject is pushed to the foreground and in the distant background, you see a landscape. It appears as if Raphael's "The Madonna of the Pinks" served as a reference point for the treatment of the hands holding a rose and also the color scheme. Jean Mclane / Maclane's work certainly suggests a close resemblance to the style of Robert Henri. She based all of her work on sound academic training. Henri however, had a richer paint surface. This work is quite beautiful to look at with a charming blue-eye sitter but it has been slightly over-cleaned and all of the magenta in the dress and other areas have been strengthened with inpainting. Despite the extensive conservation work on the painting it in presents very well in person and has a joyful beauty to it. Signed and dated lower left. Exhibited Guild Hall, East Hampton and The Pennsylvania Academy of The Fine Arts 125th Exhibition of both on verso -Doyle New York, Label, Nov. 30th 2005, Sothebys,
