This evocative portrait captures Lady Swaythling, Gladys Helen Rachel Goldsmid (1879-1965), in the midst of her tireless work during the tumultuous period of World War I. Born into a prominent Jewish family, she was the daughter of Albert Edward Goldsmid and the wife of the 2nd Baron Swaythling, head of the esteemed banking firm, Samuel Montagu & Co. Lady Swaythling's dedication to charitable causes extended far beyond the confines of her privileged life. She was a dedicated worker for numerous war charities and bazaars, devoting her time and energy to supporting those in need during the Great War.
