Marguerite Kelsey by Meredith Frampton, 1928, Tate, London.
Meredith Frampton was the son of a sculptor who created very detailed and finely finished paintings of a very modern style for the early 20th century. Some of his work, even veers toward the surreal in style. Frampton used a model for this work and dressed her in the latest austere fashions from Paris, making the work all the more modern in tone.

    I love mr. Frampton's art — it's so thoroughly detailed that I could be fooled that it's a digital 3D creation instead of just an old school, well-done oil painting.
