Please note: this is a single painting, Portrait of Katherine Mansfield.
This portrait was painted by Mansfield’s friend, American artist Anne Estelle Rice, while Mansfield was staying in Cornwall, England. Mansfield wrote to her husband:
“[Anne] came early and began the great painting — me in that red, brick red frock with flowers everywhere … I painted her in my way as she painted me in hers: her eyes … little blue flowers plucked this morning.”
In the five years that followed, Mansfield wrote many of her most loved stories.
