About the piece

This 1916 oil portrait by George Washington Lambert depicts his colleague and fellow artist Thea Proctor in a graceful profile. Set against a deep, atmospheric background, the luminous rendering of her skin and the intricate, painterly details of her patterned wrap highlight Lambert's masterful technique and the sophisticated aesthetic of the early 20th century.
