EDITORS COMMENTS

The model in this particular artwork bears a striking resemblance to Calderon's famous Ruth of 1897, suggesting that it was created during the latter part of his career. Calderon, known for his affiliation with the St Johns Wood Clique and influenced by the Pre-Raphaelites, skillfully portrays haughtily beautiful women against diaphanous clothing. In this piece, he presents a brunette girl with dark hair and an intense direct gaze that exudes both confidence and pride. Her elegant Victorian gown adds to her allure, while her expression conveys a range of emotions.

This stunning portrait captures not only the physical attributes but also delves into the inner world of its subject.
