Mrs. Gutbier, in a hat

Bone, Muirhead, Sir, 1876-1953 · 1905

Half-length portrait of a lady, three-quarter face to right, in a black dress and hat with feathers, sitting. Her right arm rests on the arm of the chair ; both hands are shown. The hat somewhat enlarged on the left side. The background shaded with vigorous downward strokes from the top of the plate to below the right elbow ; there is similar shading, but less, on the right. The chair is more defined and the lines suggesting the skirt are carried lower.
