EDITORS COMMENTS
In this portrait, Barbara Woolworth Hutton, a renowned socialite and heiress, is depicted as Princess Mdivani, following her first marriage in 1933. At the tender age of 21, Hutton had already amassed a vast fortune as an heiress to the Woolworth retail empire. Dubbed the "poor little rich girl," her extravagant lifestyle and numerous marriages made her a tabloid sensation. In this image, taken from The Bystander in 1934, Hutton is caricatured by Sirra, a celebrated British artist known for his witty and insightful portraits of famous personalities. The caricature, part of a long series called "Celebrities in Cameo," captures Hutton's glamour and charisma, as well as her penchant for attention. Hutton's marriage to Prince Ali Khan Mdivani, a Georgian nobleman, marked her first foray into the world of international high society. The union was short-lived, but it solidified Hutton's reputation as a jet-setting socialite and a modern-day Cinderella. Despite her controversial personal life, Hutton was also known for her philanthropic efforts. She supported various charities and causes, including the American Cancer Society and the Red Cross. Her generosity and compassion belied the tabloid headlines and added depth to her complex persona. This portrait of Barbara Hutton as Princess Mdivani is a testament to her enduring allure and the fascination she held for the public. Sirra's caricature captures her essence, revealing both her beauty and her spirit, making it a fascinating glimpse into the life of one of the most intriguing figures of the 20th century.
