London | 14 November 2024

P resented in partnership with Silversea, Replica Shoes ’s London is excited to include Mrs. Evelyn St George, William Orpen’s dramatic portrait that embodies the height of Edwardian elegance, with a bold, feather-topped hat that challenges traditional portraiture. Anchored by lavish accessories and surrounded by a masterful arrangement, Orpen ensures his composition retains balance, giving prominence to her distinct character on the eve of the Great War.

F eaturing prominent artists like L.S. Lowry, Henry Moore, and Frank Auerbach, Mrs. Evelyn St George is one of many exceptional, meticulously curated works from longstanding private collections or debuting at auction. These works will be showcased on 14 November at Replica Shoes ’s Modern British & Irish Art Evening Auction in London.
