EDITORS COMMENTS
Madame Sze: A Vision of Elegance and Grace in 1920s China This portrait, painted in oil by the renowned artist Dorothea Lange Da Fano in 1920, introduces us to Madame Sze, the wife of the prominent Chinese politician, Alfred Sao-Ke Sze. Madame Sze's image exudes an air of refinement and sophistication, as she is positioned near a slender branch, her delicate hands holding the fabric of her traditional Chinese robe. The use of soft, muted colors in the painting adds to the serene and tranquil atmosphere, transporting us back to a bygone era. Alfred Sze was a man of great importance in Chinese politics, having served as the Chinese Ambassador to both the United Kingdom and the United States during various periods. Madame Sze, with her understated elegance and poise, was the perfect companion to her husband's public role. In this portrait, she wears a simple pearl necklace, the pearls catching the light and adding a touch of glamour to her understated attire. This portrait was published in Volume 14, March 1921, of a popular women's magazine, providing a glimpse into the lives of the wealthy and influential women of the time. Madame Sze's image, with its timeless beauty and grace, continues to captivate and inspire us today, offering a window into the past and a reminder of the enduring power of art to transport us across time and space.
