>> 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.
