EDITORS COMMENTS
This portrait of Irene, titled 'Portrait of Irene Dineley,' dates back to circa 1926. At first glance, the sketch may seem hasty and unrefined, but upon closer inspection, it reveals a deliberate and considered approach from the artist. The pencil foundation beneath the watercolor is discernible, and some of the lights appear to have been meticulously scratched out with a knife. The artist's ability to control his brush and pencil to extreme precision is evident in the intricately rendered eyes. Irene was a model who sat for a number of portraits during this era, and this particular sketch was created by the renowned artist Ambrose McEvoy with the permission of Mr. Poulter, the art dealer. The piece is part of the February issue of 'March of the Women' Collection from Mary Evans Prints Online. Despite its seemingly hasty appearance, the portrait is a testament to the artist's skill and mastery of his medium. The traces of pencil and the deliberate use of a knife to create the lights add texture and depth to the image, making it a truly unique and intriguing work of art. The portrait invites the viewer to examine it closely and appreciate the artistic process behind it.
