Lady Ludlow, née Alice Sedgwick Mankiewicz 1924

Philip Alexius de László was a Hungarian portrait painter who achieved international fame in the early 20th century. He is known for his elegant, almost ethereal portraits, often depicting members of aristocracy or high society. "Lady Ludlow, née Alice Sedgwick Mankiewicz" (1924) is a quintessential example of de László's style, capturing the subject's poise and refined beauty through soft, luminous brushstrokes and a delicate use of color. Lady Ludlow is depicted in a flowing yellow gown, her relaxed yet sophisticated posture and gentle gaze conveying both grace and strength. The portrait's subtle lighting and the inclusion of flowers further enhance the sense of elegance and refined taste.
