I think it's a wonderful interpretation of her spirit. And I'd be willing to contribute some pennies, Kristin!

I wanted to alert you to this newly discovered oil portrait of Virginia Woolf by the French painter Marguerite Darbour (1865-1940) .
Darbour_woolf_portrait_artwork
Painted c. 1920s
Oil on canvas. 28.5 x 23.5 inches.
Signed and inscribed with title to the revere.
Provenance: The Artist’s Estate; Private collection, Nice
An extremely rare and hitherto unknown portrait of Virginia Woolf from life by the French painter Marguerite Darbour (1865-1940). The work was most likely painted on one of the Woolf's many visits to France during the 1920s and 30s. The portrait remained in a private collection in Nice, France until recently. Marguerite Darbour (1865-1940) exhibited at the Salon des Artistes Indépendants from 1903 and became a member of the Société Nationale des Beaux-Arts in 1922. She specialised in portrait and landscape subjects and had studios in Paris and Cassis.
The Court Gallery are offering the work for sale at £16,500.
Kind regards,
Denys Wilcox
