Glyn Warren Philpot was born in 1884 and this oil on canvas was painted in 1910 – 11. The museum tell us: “Philpot was known for his elegant society portraits, but this painting shows him exploring glamour, camp and queerness through a trio of models he met while travelling in Spain. Attention is lavished on the textures and exquisite details of the woman’s dress, and her magnetic presence celebrates her elaborate, exaggerated style.
