David Wright woman with pen and note paper
Elegant woman with a pen and note paper -- perhaps writing to the naval officer in the photo on her table -- representing The Girls They Left Behind. David Wright (1912 - 1967), was a popular British artist specialising in glamour. His series of pin-ups for The Sketch during the World War II period were immensely popular and morale-boosting to troops.

EDITORS COMMENTS
In this evocative 1944 photograph, an elegant woman sits in an armchair, her posture poised and confident as she pens a heartfelt letter. The room is filled with the soft glow of a table lamp, casting a warm, comforting light over the scene. On the table before her, a navy blue uniform lies draped over a chair, a reminder of the man she has left behind. David Wright, a renowned British artist, expertly captures the sensuality and allure of this glamorous woman in this image. Her red lipstick-stained note paper and the delicate flower in her hand add to the intimate and seductive atmosphere. The woman's hair cascades down her shoulders, framing her beautiful face as she deep in thought. Wright, known for his pin-up art during World War II, created this image as a morale-booster for the troops. His glamorous and elegant depictions of women, like this one, were a source of comfort and inspiration for those far from home. The Girls They Left Behind, as this series came to be known, represented the beauty and strength of the women who waited for their loved ones to return. This photograph, with its timeless allure and evocative details, invites us to imagine the emotions and longing that lie beneath the surface. Wright's masterful use of color, composition, and detail create a powerful and enduring image that continues to captivate and inspire.
