Edna May in The Belle of New York (1907) — Sir John Lavery Art Print

A portrait that feels almost cinematic in its atmosphere — deep shadow, soft light, and a striking crimson hat emerging from darkness.

Painted by Sir John Lavery in 1907, Edna May in The Belle of New York captures the celebrated American actress at the height of Edwardian glamour, yet with an unusual sense of quiet introspection. The dramatic palette and softened expression give the work a timeless elegance that feels equally suited to classic and contemporary interiors.

This is a piece that draws the eye without overwhelming a space. The rich dark tones and warm highlights work particularly well in living rooms, bedrooms, studies, and design-led interiors seeking depth and atmosphere.

Sir John Lavery (1856–1941) was one of Ireland’s most celebrated painters and among the leading portrait artists of his generation. His works are hangs in the National Gallery of Ireland, the Tate, and major collections worldwide.
