Note du spécialiste

After 1922, William Sergeant Kendall moved to Hot Springs, Virginia, where he developed an interest in painting the female nude. This subject dominated his oeuvre for the final fifteen years of his life and resulted in monumental canvases such as the present work, Gloria, and demonstrates Kendall's overt influence from his time studying the classical masters in Paris.
