About the Item

A "Flapper of 1800" is depicted in profile with her maid holding a hat box and cradling a little monkey. The maid is a step to the right and a step behind her. Overlapping garments visually link the two as a double portrait. They form a single silhouetted figural group set against a grey wall. The painting communicated a spirit of glamour associated with the upper classes and was used to illustrate the story " Is the Young Person Coming Back, for Harper's Monthly Magazine, August 1924. Anna Betts and her sister, Ethel, are trailblazing female artists/illustrators. They studied under famed artist/teacher Howard Pyle, and while his academic training is evident in Anna Betts's style, Betts carved out her own style that still stands the test of time. Signed lower right. Framed size 22 x 33 The Video is coming up light. Use the still images as a proper reference for color.
