EDITORS COMMENTS
In this photograph, The Hon. Lois Sturt is seen engrossed in the art of painting, as she brings to life the portrait of the renowned dancer and beauty, Dacia. The year is 1919, and the setting is the artist's studio. The Hon. Lois Sturt, the younger daughter of Lord and Lady Alington, is dressed in an elegant yet practical outfit, her eyes focused intently on her subject. Dacia, a society girl turned dancer who had recently starred in the popular production of Chu Chin Chow, poses gracefully in the center of the lower picture. Miss Nimmer, a companion or model, adds an intriguing element to the scene. The trio of women, each representing different aspects of the arts and society, create an atmosphere of creativity and artistic expression. The Hon. Lois Sturt, known for her unconventional behavior and rebellious spirit, was a striking contrast to the upper-class expectations of her time. Her passion for painting, however, allowed her to break free from societal norms and pursue her artistic endeavors. The photograph offers a glimpse into the world of early 20th-century society, where art and beauty held a significant place. The image of these three women, each lost in their own world, creates a powerful narrative of self-expression, creativity, and the transformative power of art. The Hon. Lois Sturt's portrait of Dacia stands as a testament to her talent and her ability to capture the essence of her subject. This photograph, with its rich historical context, is a fascinating exploration of the lives of women in the arts during an era of change and transformation.
