EDITORS COMMENTS
This portrait captures the essence of Olive Snell (1882-1962), a renowned British artist whose works graced the pages of The Tatler and The Bystander during the early 20th century. Known for her distinctive portraits in crayon and color, Snell's artistic talent brought to life the society beauties of her day. Born in London, Snell's artistic abilities were evident from a young age. She studied at the Royal Academy Schools and the Slade School of Fine Art, honing her skills in various mediums. However, it was her unique approach to portraiture using crayons and vibrant colors that set her apart. Snell's ability to capture the essence of her subjects, coupled with her innovative use of unconventional materials, made her a sought-after artist in high society circles. Her portraits were not only admired for their aesthetic appeal but also for their ability to convey the personality and character of her subjects. This portrait of Olive Snell herself is a testament to her artistic prowess. The use of warm, earthy tones and the subtle play of light and shadow create a sense of depth and dimension. Snell's piercing gaze and confident expression convey a sense of intelligence and determination, reflecting the strong-willed and independent spirit that defined her. In October 1910, Snell held a successful exhibition of her work at the Leicester Galleries in London, further cementing her reputation as a leading artist of her time. Her portraits continue to be celebrated for their unique style and captivating depictions of the women of her era.
