Lady Marriott – William Orpen Art Print

Lady Marriott (1921) – William Orpen

Orpen painted Lady Maud Marriott in 1921, when he was the most sought-after society portraitist in Europe and she was one of the most well-travelled women in it. He was paid £1,500 — her father, the American financier Otto Kahn, was painted at the same time.

Known as Momo, Lady Marriott moved between London, Paris, New York and Cairo as easily as most people changed rooms. Orpen caught her at exactly that moment — poised, assured, completely at home in the world. It is a Jazz Age portrait painted by an Irish artist who had survived the Western Front and come back to find society carrying on regardless. There is something quietly remarkable about that — and Orpen knew it.

Sir William Orpen (1878-1931), born in Stillorgan, Co Dublin, trained at the Metropolitan School of Art in Dublin and the Slade School in London, becoming one of the most successful portrait painters of his generation. His work hangs in the National Gallery of Ireland.
