Mrs Wilfrid Ashley, later Lady Mount Temple, née Miss Muriel (Molly) Spencer and formerly the Hon. Mrs Forbes-Sempill (1920). Philip Alexius de László (Hungarian, 1869-1937). Oil on canvas.De Laszlo worked in a lighter vein, and flattered his sitters with bravura brushwork. In this portrait of Lady Mount-Temple he has taken dress to daring new limits. Echoing Sargent’s famous portrait of Madame X, Lady Mount-Temple’s costume is daringly off the shoulder, while her character is reflected in the jauntiness of her cap. -- source link
