The Victorian Dress (c.1914). Helen McNicoll (Canadian, 1879-1915). Oil on canvas. Art Gallery of Hamilton.When first exhibited in 1914, a reviewer for the Connoisseur drew attention to a certain discontinuity between the well-developed modeling of the figure reading a book and the undifferentiated handling of her white dress: ‘The frilled crinoline skirt…has apparently not interested the artist, and so forms an unattractive patch in an otherwise attractive picture.” -- source link
