EDITORS COMMENTS
In this portrait, Lady Lavery, born Hazel Martyn, exudes an air of elegance and sophistication that was synonymous with the Roaring Twenties. The photograph, taken by the renowned Madame Yevonde in 1934, captures the essence of a woman who was not only a celebrated beauty but also a talented artist and popular society hostess. Lady Lavery was the second wife of the celebrated Irish portrait painter, Sir John Lavery. Known for her striking features and magnetic presence, she became Sir John's muse and sat for him hundreds of times. Her portrait graced the walls of many a grand home, and her image was a familiar sight in the pages of high society magazines. Despite her beauty and the attention it brought her, Lady Lavery was not immune to the trials and tribulations of life. In an article that accompanied this photograph in The Sketch magazine, she shared the "worst moment of her life." The article revealed a more vulnerable side to the glamorous Lady Lavery, reminding us that even the most beautiful and accomplished women face challenges and hardships. Madame Yevonde's portrait of Lady Lavery is a testament to the power of beauty and the enduring allure of the Roaring Twenties. With her piercing gaze and enigmatic smile, Lady Lavery continues to captivate and inspire, long after the passing of that era. This photograph is a precious reminder of a bygone era, a time when beauty and art were intertwined, and the world was enchanted by the magic of the silver screen and the allure of the high society set.
