Glints of Gold (Miss Dorothy Salvesen)

Artist: Hope, Robert, RSA · 1868-1936

Recognised as a portrait painter, especially of female sitters, Hope's interest lay equally in the challenges of painting textures and creating tonally harmonious works.

The present work brings all these elements together in a single canvas.

The sitter may be the musician Dorothy Salvesen.
