Title

Elderly Bespectacled Woman in White

Description

This piece shows an older woman with white hair, dressed entirely in white, wearing a pair of metallic spectacles.

Creator

Bertha May Ingle

Date

Possibly c. 1950: Based on the age of the supposed subject, who was a friend of Edith. This is part of a group of canvases that were pasted to masonite, all with matching red numbers on the back and slightly odd signatures. The best theory is these were pieces prepared for a show that was supposed to be held around 1950.
