It is one of two bought at auction in Australia maybe 20 years ago. The other was the prettier of the two but was in quite bad condition. Unfortunately I ruined it. These are chalk, or pastel, and my gentle wipe was not a good idea. So I only have this one. The portrait is about 19.5 x 15.5 inches and is in a simple frame. It is beautifully done, and the signature looks very like C.D. Gibson&#039;s to me, but no doubt he was widely copied. I&#039;ve not found too many examples of his pastels and haven&#039;t found her, either, in Google searches ... Quite a bit of reflection in the photo, sorry.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
