John Collier 1850-1934
The 3 quarter length reverse pose in this portrait is slightly unconventional but has the effect of focussing your eye on Mrs Osbornes outfit. The style of the flapper dress and cloche hat indicate that it was probably painted in the 1920's and as such one of Collier's better portraits.
Composition - Shes placed not in dead centre but slightly to the right. Making good use of rule of thirds which makes it appealing to the eye. The image uses very dark colours but really warm and bright colours in some areas which draws your eye to them.
