From: Tate Gallery Hylda
was the
third daughter of the wealthy art dealer Asher Wertheimer
. . . The
portrait of Hylda is in the
grand manner of the old masters, and great care is given to the
depiction
of the different luxurious textures of her clothing. Sargent tried to
dissuade
Hylda from wearing her pince-nez, which undermine this illusion, but
they
were retained at her insistence.
