EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the mesmerizing portrait of Mrs. St. George, painted in 1906 by the talented artist William Orpen. The oil on canvas masterpiece measures an impressive 215.9x115.4 cm and is held in a private collection. Mrs. St. George, also known as Evelyn St. George, was not only a subject of this painting but also Orpen's mistress with whom he had a daughter named Vivien. An incredibly wealthy American heiress, she stood over six feet tall while Orpen himself barely reached five feet in height, earning them the endearing nickname "Jack and the Beanstalk". In this exquisite portrayal, Mrs. St. George stands elegantly in an evening dress adorned with plumes and feathers that exude opulence and grandeur befitting her status in society during the Edwardian era of the early 20th century. The full-length coat made from luxurious fur further accentuates her regal presence as she confidently poses for Orpen's brushstrokes to immortalize her beauty on canvas. This print captures every intricate detail of this remarkable painting - from Mrs. St. George's stole feathered with delicate plumage to her stylish hat that adds an extra touch of sophistication to her ensemble. Through this artwork, we catch a glimpse into a bygone era where wealth and elegance were intertwined seamlessly, leaving us captivated by both its artistic brilliance and historical significance.
