⊕ MARIE-LOUISE VON MOTESICZKY (AUSTRIAN-BRITISH 1906-1996)
BLONDE WOMAN
oil on canvas
61 x 51cm; 24 x 21in
76 x 64cm; 30 x 25 1/2in (framed)
Painted in 1960, Schlenker suggests that the sitter for the present work may well have been a Spanish girl called Lolita who lodged with Marie-Louise in exchange for sittings. Lolita was the model for at least two other oils (see Lolita I and Lolita III, Schlenker nos. 180 & 182). Lolita III was purchased by Lord McAlpine in the early 1960s and Lolita I is now in the collection of the Leopold Museum, Vienna
