Note du spécialiste

Henrietta, daughter of David Garnett and Angelica (daughter of Duncan Grant and Vanessa Bell), is shown at Charleston where she and her three sisters frequently posed for their grandparents, sometimes reading or playing musical instruments, in the 1950s. Henrietta Garnett is a writer whose latest book was Anny. A Life of Anne Thackeray Ritchie (2004).
