[Vwoolf] portrait of Virginia Woolf

[Mark Scott]

I think Frances Spalding would be tempted to buy this bronze casting.  On the other hand, she might wonder who the subject is of the portrait in question.  I don’t see much resemblance to Woolf in that painting either in a physical or spiritual way.  The overall effect of the portrait was rather chilling to me.  That is to say, it left me cold.

The bronze bust, on the other hand, is quite beautiful and is immediately recognizable to me.

Dear all, 

as we are talking about portraits, for those who could not attend the 2010 IVWS conference where it was showcased as part of an accompanying art exhibition, I'd like to share my own little bronze bust of Virginia Woolf which is also partly idealized I think https://valentinamazzei.carbonmade.com/projects/2498096

It would be interesting to know what Frances Spalding thought of the resemblance!
