EDITORS COMMENTS
Mrs. Claude Johnson: A Portrait of Evelyn Maud Johnson, Circa 1917 This portrait painting, depicting the elegant and refined figure of Mrs. Claude Johnson, was created around 1917. The subject of the painting is Evelyn Maud Johnson, the second wife of Claude Goodman Johnson, a renowned figure in British industry as the managing director of Rolls Royce from 1906. The painting is a testament to the deep friendship that existed between the sitter and the artist, whom Claude Johnson once described as the second greatest painter of the day. Evelyn Maud Johnson is depicted in the portrait wearing a sophisticated dress of muted colors, the subtle hues of which are beautifully captured in the painting. Her expressive eyes, framed by delicate lashes, convey a sense of intelligence and warmth. The artist, whose identity remains unknown, expertly renders the intricate details of her subject's features, from the delicate curves of her cheekbones to the delicate texture of her hair. This portrait painting was published in a prestigious color magazine, Volume VI of June, Arthur Ambrose McEvoy's "The Studio," a leading publication for fine arts and literature during the early 20th century. The publication of the portrait in this esteemed magazine further underscores the significance and acclaim that both the artist and the subject enjoyed during this period. Mrs. Claude Johnson's portrait is a striking example of the artistic talent and innovation that flourished during the early 20th century, and serves as a reminder of the enduring power of art to capture the essence of a person and preserve their memory for generations to come.
