EDITORS COMMENTS
This oil painting, titled "Hester, Getting Up," dates back to circa 1923 and showcases a young woman in the midst of her morning routine. The subject, dressed in a charming green skirted dress, sits on the edge of a chair, her left foot poised on the seat as she prepares to put on her stockings. The serene expression on her face and the gentle light filtering in through the window create an intimate and introspective atmosphere. The woman's attire, with its modest yet elegant design, reflects the fashion trends of the early 20th century. The addition of a colorful magazine, with its volume number prominently displayed as "18, March," adds a touch of modernity and suggests that the woman is keeping up with current events and popular culture. The artist, Betty Maud Christian Fagan, expertly captures the moment of quiet contemplation and self-care, inviting the viewer to appreciate the simple beauty of everyday life. The use of rich, vibrant colors and intricate brushstrokes brings the scene to life, making it a stunning addition to any art collection. This painting, part of the March of the Women Collection from Mary Evans Prints Online, is a testament to the timeless charm of traditional portraiture and the enduring allure of a moment of stillness and reflection.
