Edward Poynter, Mary Constance Wyndham (Lady Elcho), 1886

Mary leans back on a chaise, gazing into the distance. She is surrounded by aestheticism's accoutrements: a japonaiserie screen; blue and white ceramic vases. Her hair is fashionably shirred; her waist, in her plain mustard-yellow gown, tiny (the envy of her friends, she said proudly). One hand loosely holds a sketchbook, another book lies unopened before her. She looks deep in thought: a beauty with greater things on her mind. [A]ged twenty-four, a mother of two, [...] just a few months after the death of her beloved friend Laura Tennant and while her relationship with Arthur Balfour was growing ever deeper. Mary's family later criticized this portrait as far too solemn. Yet perhaps in Mary's forlorn expression Poynter had seen some of the turmoil in which Mary found herself at this stage of her life. — Claudia Renton, Those Wild Wyndhams

LILLIAN GISH in WAY DOWN EAST (1920) She is an expensive doll made of the best-quality porcelain. She, more than anyone, should have been painted by Ambrose McEvoy, for though she is an ethereal waif, there is great strength and firmness beneath her extreme fragility. She is a magnificent actress in spite of her frail delicacy, and we are amazed that this heavenly-looking wraith is made of flesh and blood and is capable of acting, and of great acting. - Cecil Beaton
