Oil on canvas, 1913, signed 'Glyn Philpot' lower right, with the sitter's paper address label on the stretcher.
50 x 36 in., 58 1/2 x 44 1/2 in. (frame).
Note: The sitter in this portrait is Mrs. Isabel Stimson McBirney, born in 1890 in Lake Forest, IL. Her family commissioned English portrait painter Glyn Philpot to paint her portrait and it has hung in the family home ever since. Our thanks to Charles Beddington, London Philpot expert, for confirming the date of execution and authenticity.
Philpot established himself early in his career as a society portrait painter, accepting up to twelve commissions a year. This income allowed him to travel abroad where he absorbed the modern influences of artists in Europe and America. Parallel to his portraiture, Philpot pursued his personal interest in less formal narrative scenes, and also explored religious and spiritual subject matter. Portrait of Isabel Stimson McBirney is a beautiful example of Philpot's talent as a portrait painter and was painted in the same year that he was awarded first prize at the Carnegie International competition in Pittsburgh, PA.
