Caroline only vaguely remembers the story of its discovery by Quentin Bell and someone else, still rolled, in the "Monk's House attic." The painting has somehow picked up a title, "Mrs. Dalloway's Party"--I think a selling title given by d'Offay. It's signed VB 1922 in pencil on the verso, if I recall. </div><div><br></div><div id="yui_3_16_0_ym19_1_1539877564723_15746">Looks like Mary Hutchinson on the left, and (at a stretch) Iris Tree in center?

Jane Garrity hopes to include mention of the painting (and a reproduction, if possible) in a forthcoming essay. Jane and I welcome any further thoughts you may have--whether about VB's making of this painting, VW's acquisition and non-display of it, or your musings on the painting itself.</div><div id="yui_3_16_0_ym19_1_1539877564723_15752"><br></div><div id="yui_3_16_0_ym19_1_1539877564723_15754">With thanks in advance,</div><div id="yui_3_16_0_ym19_1_1539877564723_15757"><br></div><div id="yui_3_16_0_ym19_1_1539877564723_15824">Regina Marler</div><div id="yui_3_16_0_ym19_1_1539877564723_15609"><br></div></div></div>_______________________________________________<br>Vwoolf mailing list<br><a ymailto="mailto:Vwoolf@lists.osu.edu" href="mailto:Vwoolf@lists.osu.edu" id="yui_3_16_0_ym19_1_1539877564723_15826">Vwoolf@lists.osu.edu</a><br><a href="https://lists.osu.edu/mailman/listinfo/vwoolf" target="_blank" id="yui_3_16_0_ym19_1_1539877564723_15638">https://lists.osu.edu/mailman/listinfo/vwoolf</a><br><br><br></div> </div> </div> </div></div></body></html>
