Collins, a distinguished trustee of the Public Library, Museums, and National Gallery of Victoria. The portrait beautifully embodies the grace and sophistication of the era, with Miss Collins donning an intricately beaded gown and an enchanting smile. This image holds a significant place in Australian art history, as Miss Collins was the proud recipient of the prestigious Archibald Prize in 1924.
