專家說明

Munnings frequently painted dark-haired ladies such as the present sitter in many situations during his time at the Norwich lithography company of Page Brothers. (A similar lady is illustrated opposite p. 96 in An Artist's Life). He served as an apprentice for six years and then executed freelance work creating advertisements and poster designs for companies such as Caley's crackers and chocolate, Colman's mustard and Waverley Cycles. Using his cousin as a model, he depicts a young woman with a fan for a Caley's chocolate advertisement (illustrated in An Artist's Life opposite p. 97).
