ALMA STRETTELL

BY JOHN SINGER SARGENT

Alma Strettell is shown facing forward from the waist up. Her dark hair is in an up do and she is looking straight ahead with her mouth slightly open. She is wearing a dark-coloured sleeved dress and is sitting on a non-descript chair. She is wearing two bracelets on her left wrist, and her left arm is resting on the chair. Her hands are intertwined and her right elbow is resting on her lap. The transcription of the text at the top of the image is ‘TO MY FRIEND ALMA STRETTELL | JOHN S SARGENT’
