Image of Mademoiselle (oil on canvas) by Kelly, Gerald (1879-1972)

Mademoiselle (oil on canvas)

Image description: This informal sketch, on a continental stretcher, is an early work probably painted in Paris when he was studying there in the early 1900s. The young artist's style was emerging from the gloomy (in Kelly's case) influence of Whistler and he was painting more freely at last. As to the sitter, it is possible that it is Kelly's dancer girlfriend in Paris, whose name we do not know, but whose eventual spurning of Kelly led him to leave Paris to Burma in 1908 with £50 lent to him by his friend the novelist Somerset Maugham.
