EDITORS COMMENTS
In this black-and-white photograph, we witness the elegant arrival of Alison and Margaret Hore-Ruthven, the renowned twin sisters, at Burlington House for the prestigious Royal Academy Summer Exhibition of 1931. Dressed in chic, coordinating outfits, the sisters, daughters of Lord and Lady Ruthven, gracefully step out of their automobile, surrounded by porters and art handlers. Famed portrait painter F. Cadogan Cowper captured the twins' striking resemblance and poised demeanor in his portrait, "Portrait of Ruthven Twins," which was also on display at the exhibition. The sisters' arrival at Burlington House, the home of the Royal Academy in London, marks their presence as prominent members of society and patrons of the arts. The photograph offers a glimpse into the glamour and sophistication of the era, as well as the importance of the Royal Academy Summer Exhibition as a platform for showcasing and celebrating the works of both established and emerging artists. The porters, with their formal attire and attentive expressions, add to the sense of occasion and grandeur. This evocative image, taken by an unknown photographer, stands as a testament to the enduring allure of the Royal Academy Summer Exhibition and the captivating personalities of Alison and Margaret Hore-Ruthven.
