British, 1901

By the British artist Herbert Sidney, (1858-1923), this remarkable full length portrait also titled 'The Feather Boa,' depicts Miss Alice Addison Crofton, a graceful young aristocratic lady, and was painted in 1901. So titled on account of the large, extensive draping feather coil that snakes around her, she sits on a marble garden throne, with a palm tree like background in a decidedly classicizing manner, typical of the late Victorian period.

Executed in oil-on-canvas, and set within a carved giltwood frame, signed and dated lower right 'Herbert Sidney / 1901', inscribed with title to the reverse.
