Miss Molly Duveneck

More Information

Duveneck’s younger sister Molly, a free-spirited woman, caused a scandal by having an affair with an older married man in conservative 1890s Cincinnati. Duveneck’s refined brushwork, evident in Molly’s silky hair, translucent skin and delicate lace and chiffon collars, is balanced by the young woman’s open expression and direct gaze.
