Mary Ingle

Description

This piece shows a middle aged woman, the artist's mother, wearing a pearl necklace and sitting on an angle to the viewer with her head turned to look forward. There are multiple iterations of the same portrait all done from a photo, this one was done to make Mary look younger.

c.1940-50: This was almost certainly done posthumously combined with the stylistic approach this puts the piece somewhere between 1930-1962.
