Alfred Wolmark’s works have excelled in recent auction results and this is an outstanding demonstration of his technical handling of oil and canvas. Alfred Wolmark is known for his work in the early 20th century, associated with the Post-Impressionist movement and often focused on portraiture and scenes of everyday life.
The sitter, Iris Williams, was around sixteen when she sat for this portrait around 1943 or 1944. She lived in Hampstead and went on to marry Norman Sussman but it is not known if her or her family had any special relationship with the artist. Dressed in a red dress with large white collar and dark styled wavy hair, Iris seems to typify the fashions of the time, standing elegantly in front of the abstracted red toned background.
