Portrait of Mademoiselle Chanel 1923,Shorewood Print #1289
Newark High School
This painting was refused by the subject because she felt it did not depict her, prompting Laurencin to promise to paint portraits only of those who would be willing to find a likeness where none existed.
Take the time to read the full description in the Shorewood catalog. This painting has some interesting information about Marie Laurencin's view of patrons and their place in the creation of art.
