EDITORS COMMENTS
In this black-and-white portrait, Lady Ursula Filmer-Sankey (nee Grosvenor) (1902-1978) is depicted with her two young sons, Patrick and Christopher, in the elegant surroundings of their country estate. The photograph was taken by the renowned British portrait photographer Madame Yevonde in 1932. Lady Ursula, the eldest daughter of the 6th Duke of Westminster, was known for her striking beauty and grace. Her elegant demeanor and poised presence are evident in this portrait, as she sits in a sumptuous velvet chair, dressed in a chic, high-necked gown, her hair styled in an intricate updo. Her sons, Patrick and Christopher, both dressed in crisp shirts and shorts, sit on the floor at their mother's feet, gazing up at her with adoring expressions. The boys' youthful innocence and playful energy contrast beautifully with their mother's refined elegance, creating a delightful sense of warmth and connection in the image. Madame Yevonde, a pioneer of the art of portrait photography, expertly captures the essence of this family moment, using her signature soft lighting and intricate composition to create a timeless and enchanting image. The photograph is a testament to the enduring bond between a mother and her sons and offers a glimpse into the world of upper-class British society in the 1930s.
