EDITORS COMMENTS
This enchanting watercolour painting, titled 'The Hussey,' dates back to 1921 and captures the playful spirit of youth in a charming and timeless way. The mischievous girl in the foreground, with her rosy cheeks and twinkling eyes, is in the midst of powdering her nose at her dressing table mirror. Her three friends, clad in fashionable flapper dresses and adorned with pearls and feathers, stand behind her, peering curiously into the mirror and no doubt sharing in her amusement. The scene is set against a backdrop of a cluttered dressing room, with a magazine open to a volume of 'Hughes' Golden' on the table, adding a touch of modernity and sophistication to the setting. The soft, muted colors of the painting and the delicate brushstrokes bring out the intricate details of the girls' clothing, accessories, and the various objects in the room. 'The Hussey' is a delightful snapshot of a moment in time, capturing the essence of friendship, playfulness, and the allure of the Roaring Twenties. This beautiful watercolour painting is a treasure from the past, inviting us to take a step back in time and relive the carefree days of youth.
