EDITORS COMMENTS
In this evocative silhouette portrait, Lady Alice Mahon, née Browne (1877-1970), is depicted in profile against a richly textured background. The elegant silhouette, created in the early 1930s, captures the refined beauty and poised sophistication of this aristocratic woman. Lady Alice's distinctive profile is accentuated by the sweeping brim of her large-brimmed hat, which casts an intriguing shadow on the silhouette's surface. The delicate curve of her earring adds an air of mystery and allure. Lady Alice Mahon was a member of the Irish peerage, making this silhouette a captivating representation of the aristocracy and the social elite of the 1930s. Her silhouette was created during a time when the art form was experiencing a resurgence in popularity, and silhouettes were often used as a means of capturing the essence of a person's character and appearance in a simple yet striking way. Sir John Lavery's portrait painting of Lady Alice Mahon was exhibited at the Royal Academy in 1932, offering a more traditional representation of her likeness. However, the silhouette provides a unique and intriguing perspective, highlighting the play of light and shadow and the beauty of the subject's profile. This silhouette is a testament to the enduring appeal of this art form and serves as a reminder of the elegance and grace of the aristocratic world of the 1930s.
