EDITORS COMMENTS
This black and white caricature, created by the renowned British artist Glan Williams, depicts Mrs Gerald Legge, nee Raine McCorquodale, in the height of 1950s society elegance. At the time of this portrait, Mrs Legge was married to the Honorable Gerald Humphrey Legge, Viscount Lewisham and later, the 9th Earl of Dartmouth. The daughter of the prolific romance novelist Barbara Cartland and stepmother to Diana, Princess of Wales, Mrs Legge was a prominent socialite and politician in her own right. Born in 1929, Raine McCorquodale's marriage to the Earl marked her third union. Her first marriage to the Hon. Derek Holcroft ended in divorce, while her second marriage to the Hon. John Aspinall produced three children. The caricature captures her youthful beauty and the grace that defined her presence in high society circles. Glan Williams, a master of the caricature art form, expertly rendered the details of Mrs Legge's elegant attire, from her chic hat to her fashionable gloves. The artist's deft touch brings to life the playful and lighthearted spirit that lies beneath the polished exterior of this intriguing historical figure. This portrait offers a glimpse into the world of British high society in the mid-20th century, a time of glamour, elegance, and intrigue. The image serves as a testament to the enduring allure of the past and the captivating stories that lie within the annals of history.
