EDITORS COMMENTS
Miss Leslie Blanch, a renowned theatrical designer, is depicted in this stunning painting by Frieda Harris, titled "Mrs and Miss 1933." The portrait captures a moment of relaxation and companionship between the two women, as Miss Blanch sits with her beloved pet dog at her feet. Frieda Harris, the artist, was the wife of Sir Percy Harris MP, and this painting was part of an exhibition held at the Wertheim Gallery in 1933. Harris was known for her association with the literary and artistic circles of the time, and her portraits often captured the essence of her subjects with great sensitivity and depth. Miss Leslie Blanch was a prominent figure in the London theatrical scene, having designed sets and costumes for numerous productions. Her innovative designs were known for their bold colors and striking visual impact, making her a highly sought-after collaborator for many prominent directors and actors. The painting captures Miss Blanch in a more intimate setting, away from the glamour and glitz of the stage. She is dressed in a simple, elegant outfit, with her hair styled in a chic bob. Her expression is thoughtful and introspective, as she gazes off into the distance, lost in thought. The presence of her pet dog adds a sense of warmth and comfort to the scene. The dog, with its alert and affectionate gaze, seems to be a loyal and constant companion to Miss Blanch, offering her a sense of comfort and companionship in her busy and demanding life. The painting is a beautiful testament to the bond between woman and animal, and to the enduring power of art to capture the essence of a moment in time. It is a reminder of the importance of finding moments of relaxation and companionship in the midst of a busy and demanding life, and of the enduring power of art to capture and preserve those moments for future generations to enjoy.
