[Vwoolf] FW: Newly discovered portrait of Vigrinia Woolf

[Anne Margaret Daniel]

Dear everyone,
Thanks for sharing this. I agree that it captures spirit rather than
likeness; the Duncan Grant painting, if even by Grant, is so palpably not
Woolf. It looks like a very poor interpretation of Mansfield, if anyone I
can think of.  Candis, it should be Stephen and not Stevens.
Now I'd like to know more about both Darbour and Ferguson! Best to all, AM
