Lot 134

Description

Doris Clare Zinkeisen
Scottish 1898-1991 - 

The Surrey with a Fringe on Top; 

oil on canvas, signed lower right 'Doris Zinkeisen', 63.8 x 76.2 cm (ARR) 

Provenance: 
Christie’s, London, Twentieth Century British Art, 23rd September 2009, lot 25 

Note: 
the work displays an Art Deco sensibility, with stylised forms and clean lines producing a sophisticated, modern appearance whilst retaining its classical realism. Doris worked closely alongside her younger sister, Anna Zinkeisen, for the best part of both their careers. They both were commissioned to paint murals for RMS Queen Mary and RMS Queen Elizabeth. Whilst both renowned young artists, rubbing shoulders with Laurence Olivier, Noel Coward and John Gielgud, they volunteered in both great wars as VADs. Her self-portrait (1929) from the National Portrait Gallery, London, is one of the gallery's most iconic images of the interwar period.
