EDITORS COMMENTS
Mrs Charles Sweeny, formerly Miss Margaret Whigham, is depicted in this stunning portrait painted by American artist M. Baynon Copeland, under her later title as the Duchess of Argyll. The painting was unveiled to the public in 1937 during an exhibition of Copeland's work at Ackermann's Galleries in New Bond Street, London. Born in 1912, Margaret Whigham was a prominent socialite and a member of high society. Her marriage to the 9th Duke of Argyll in 1937 brought her into the British aristocracy, and she became known as the Duchess of Argyll. The portrait captures the elegance and sophistication of the Duchess, with her piercing gaze and graceful posture. Copeland, an American artist, had previously painted Miss Whigham under her former title, and this later portrait showcases her transformation into a duchess. M. Baynon Copeland was a renowned artist, and his works were highly sought after by collectors and art enthusiasts. This portrait of Mrs Charles Sweeny, the Duchess of Argyll, is a testament to his skill and artistry. The painting is a significant historical document, capturing the image of a prominent socialite and aristocrat during a pivotal moment in her life. The exhibition of Copeland's works at Ackermann's Galleries in 1937 was a major event in the London art scene, and this portrait of Mrs Charles Sweeny, the Duchess of Argyll, was undoubtedly one of the highlights of the show. Today, it remains an important piece of art history, showcasing the beauty and elegance of a bygone era.
