Description: | The soprano Adelina Patti (1843-1919) lived at Craig-y-Nos, and this is one of a number of images Dore painted of her. It is a part finished image, with only the head fully worked up, the rest sketched onto the clearly visible canvas. Richard Glynn Vivian and Gustave Doré had been friends for a number of years prior to the artist's death in 1882. Glynn Vivian purchased a large volume of Doré's work in the subsequent studio sale. | Subjects: | portrait (Patti Adelina) | Source: | Vads | Creator: | Artist: Doré, Gustave (French printmaker, painter, sculptor, 1832-1883) Æ | Identifier: | http://www.vads.ac.uk/large.php?uid=8702... | Go to resource |
