Display caption
Carline’s aesthetic derives from no established style. The power of this portrait is symptomatic of modern psychology and the contemporary belief that the realisation of the individual was one of the chief signs of modernity. The directness of the artist's gaze here typifies the self-possession of the modern woman of the inter-war period.
