John Lavery (1856-1941) Her First Communion (1902). Viewed this recently acquired portrait at the National Gallery today. Of his daughter, like much of the painter’s work a sense of melancholy penetrates the canvas. This particular piece was finished by James McNeill Whistler

Miss Auras. The Red Book (Date unknown) from Sir John Lavery, R.A. on

I love to watch her sit and read a book,
This precious girl, this nascent woman fair.
Now in her chair, with that familiar look,

At once amused, but often filled with care.
She holds a small book level with her eyes,
And I am smitten hard and can but stare.

Lavery, The Red Book
