“A Doris Zinkeisen portrait has been on my wish list for most of my career. Her incredibly stylish, aspirational female portraits rarely appear on the market and historically have attracted much deeper pockets than mine. This extraordinary elegant woman appeared in America and I fought rather harder than usual to win her. From the dress and fashionable hair style I would guess her decade as 1930s and her confident gaze implies a certain level of intelligence and wealth. She could be the heroine (if that is the right word!) of any number of Evelyn Waugh novels. Although discovered in the States, she arrived in a London made frame, so I assume she is an English sitter who has been on an extended holiday to an American private collection.” Matthew Hall
