Collection Highlight: Portrait of Miss Winifred De Wolfe

 

The following is a post from the UMFA's blog archive, written by former staff member Iris Moulton and originally published in 2014. 

One of my favorite recurring features on this blog is the Collection Highlight, which presents a chance to examine more closely a specific work in the museum’s collection. With all the pieces in the collection, any chance to pause and get to know something a little better is a real treat.
