I absolutely loved ‘Francesca Woodman and Julia Margaret Cameron: Portraits to Dream In’. Beautifully curated, the juxtaposition of works and the hang was a work of art in itself. National Portrait Gallery until 16th June.
First I saw the sleeves, then the beautiful bracelet. Portrait by Margaret Sarah Carpenter (1793-1872), oil on canvas, exhibited 1834. This is an unmissable show. So enjoyed it Dr Amy Lim, can only imagine the amount of research behind it. #arthistory #womenshistory #dresshistory
Sarah Stone’s watercolour of a mandarin duck (1788, detail), now on show Karen Taylor as part of London Art Week. No wonder Stone was so renowned as an ornithological painter, it’s absolutely exquisite.
