This book is a celebration of the famous painting which launched Sargent as a fashionable portrait painter and made Lady Agnew's name as a society celebrity. The story of Sargent and Lady Agnew is recounted in the essay and catalogue by Julia Rayer Rolfe, Librarian at the National Gallery of Scotland. Three leading scholars in the fields of fine art, history and music have contributed essays which serve to put the portrait into a wider context: Kenneth McConkey, Professor of Art History at the University of Northumbria at Newcastle; David Cannadine, Professor of History at Columbia University, New York, and Wilfrid Mellers, Emeritus Professor of Music at the University of York.

paperback. Condition: Good. Our good condition books are generally good for reading but not for gifting or collecting. They could have imperfections such as creasing, fanning, inscriptions, margin notes, yellowing, staining on edge or cover or pages, bumps, scuffs, etc etc (sometimes multiple of these). It's a wide category that encompasses anything that isn't almost-new down to anything that is slightly better than poor. We would NOT recommend gifting Good books - these should be considered reading copies. Our books are dispatched from a Yorkshire former cotton mill. We list via barcode/ISBN so please note that the images are stock images and may not be the exact copy you receive, furthermore the details about edition and year might not be accurate as many publishers reuse the same ISBN for multiple editions and as we simply scan a barcode or enter an ISBN we do not check the validity of the edition data when listing. If you're looking for an exact edition please don't order (at least not without checking with us first, although we don't always have time to check). We aim to dispatch prompty, the service used will depend on order value and book size. We can ship to most countries, see our shipping policies. Payment is via Abe only.
