Marguerite
A professional artist''s model in the 1920s and 1930s, Marguerite Kelsey
(1908?-1995) was renowned for her gracefulness and ability to hold poses for a long time.
Her dress and shoes were chosen and purchased by Frampton for this portrait.
They are both classical and, being uncorseted, deliberately modern.
The simple, short-sleeved pale tunic dress worn with low-heeled shoes and her straight
hair were all essential elements of the fashionable ''garçonne style'' created
by the couturiers Coco Chanel and Jean Patou from the mid-1920s.
