Mid 19th Century Oil - Victorian Widow

Unknown

About the Item

A very fine Victorian portrait in oil, showing a woman in half mourning. The sitter is wearing a black mourning dress with white lace collar and cuffs and a delicate lace dress cap with pink flowers. She wears a ruby brooch at her neck and her fingers slip through the ring, hung on her gold chain. She has glittering, dark brown eyes with a timid, almost nervous smile. The flash of red to her left and the soft hue in her cheeks an the pink flowers in her cap, add subtly and attractive colour to a traditionally muted and somber Victorian mourning portrait. Unsigned. On canvas.

Woman in a Red Dress, Mid Century Female Illustrator/ Artist, Elizabeth Taylor ?
By Gladys Rockmore Davis
Located in Miami, FL
Mid-century female illustrator/artist Gladys Rockmore Davis paints a compelling portrait of a contemplative beauty who looks like Elizabeth Taylor. Frontal and lateral forces work together in this pyramidal composition. The sitter stares down at the viewer creating a frontal tension. Her hypnotic gaze is counterbalanced by the lateral movement of her crossed hands and triggers an emotional response. Gladys Rockmore Davis is both a work-for-hire illustrator and a fine artist- She was an illustrator for clients such as Upjohn, Munsingwear, Elgin Watches, and Johnson & Johnson. Davis had a show at the prestigious Midtown Gallery and Babcock Gallery in New York. She studied at the California School of Fine Arts, Art Institute of Chicago, and Art Students League. William R.
