This sensitive portrait of a glamorous lady dates from around 1912, at a time when Cadell was particularly interested in portraiture and
producing several of his most attractive studies of feminine beauty. Notable examples of this period include Mrs. Chiene of 1912, which was also painted on an unprimed canvas of the same dimensions. It is possible that Portrait of a Young Lady was painted as a pendant to Mrs. Chiene and may therefore depict a relative of George Chiene, one of Cadell’s most loyal friends and patrons.
