EDITORS COMMENTS
In this exquisite portrait captured by renowned society artist Olive Snell in 1929, Lady Anne Maud Rhys (née Wellesley) is depicted in all her aristocratic elegance. Born in 1910 as the eldest daughter of the 5th Duke of Wellington, Lady Anne was a scion of one of the most illustrious families in British history. Her lineage could be traced back to the legendary Duke of Wellington, who led the Allied forces to victory against Napoleon Bonaparte in the Battle of Waterloo. As the wife of Hon. David Reginald Rhys, Lady Anne graced high society with her presence and captivated onlookers with her striking beauty and refined manners. In this portrait, she is shown wearing an elegant gown, accessorized with a string of pearls and a delicate necklace, her dark hair styled in an intricate updo. The artist, Olive Snell, expertly captures the subtle play of light and shadow on Lady Anne's face, highlighting her delicate features and expressive eyes. The portrait was published in The Sketch, a leading society magazine of the time, and serves as a testament to Lady Anne's status as a prominent figure in British aristocratic circles. The image is a reminder of a bygone era, when the lives of the aristocracy were chronicled in the pages of society magazines, and their every move was the subject of fascination and admiration. Today, this portrait remains a valuable historical record of a remarkable woman and her place in history.
