Contrasts

This rather elegant picture - Boston School, 19th/20th Century

Portrait of a Woman in Pearls, Unsigned, was for sale at Skinner and sold for USD4,500. I thought it was elegant and decorative, but without provenance, outside of my desired range. It was reminiscent to me of

F C B Cadell's work, some of which I showed earlier. The following also show Cadell's versatilty and variation in style.
