The White Glove (1921). George Lambert (Australian, 1873-1930). Oil on canvas. Art Gallery of NSW, Sydney.
This woman of fashion has an arresting vitality. Her luscious blue stole, elegant feathered hat and jewelled ring contribute to the work a sense of opulence. Her flamboyant pose, with her head slightly tilted back and poised to one side, matches her vivacious personality. Her eyes appear to be laughing in accord with her smile and she seems to be deliberately hamming it up for the artist.
