EDITORS COMMENTS
This portrait captures the youthful elegance and charm of Miss Isobel McLean, daughter of the esteemed society hostess, Mrs. Loudon McLean, as she poses for the renowned British photographer Madame Yevonde in August 1934. Madame Yevonde, born in 1893, was an influential and groundbreaking figure in the world of photography, active between 1915 and 1975. She is celebrated for her innovative use of the Vivex colour process during the 1930s, which produced astonishingly modern and vibrant images. Madame Yevonde's photographs of society personalities and other notable figures graced the pages of prestigious publications like The Sketch and The Tatler throughout the 1920s and 30s. In this portrait, Miss McLean's striking features and refined attire are beautifully rendered in the rich hues and vivid detail that were the hallmarks of Madame Yevonde's work. The image, taken on the 22nd of August 1934, is a testament to the photographer's remarkable ability to capture the essence of her subjects and the times in which they lived. Madame Yevonde's prolific body of work continues to be an important influence on the art of portrait photography, and her images remain a fascinating window into the social history of the 20th century.
