Late 17th-Century Portrait Of Sarah Churchill, Duchess of Marlborough 1930s John Horace Hooper (1851-1906)

John Horace Hooper (1851-1906)

It’s almost certainly after a painting by one of the old masters and it feels a little Dutch

It’s likely that the gold flügelhaben also had some religious significance as it was often worn when attending church

It reminds us of the drama and heightened sense of self often found in Gustave Courbet’s (1819-1877) self-portraits
