George Frederick Watts, Lady Dalrymple

 

A thoughtful and beautiful young lady is wooed by a painter, a rich young man, and (catastrophically) a philosopher.


Here is another engaging social comedy—or tragicomedy—by White (see Novel 075).

One character is “a finished picture and a masterpiece. . . .  one of the most brilliantly executed portraits in modern fiction.” Pall Mall Gazette, December 2, 1896

“A clever novel, subtle and discriminating in its character-drawing, containing at least one remarkable portrait, and full of excellent things that make it worth reading.” The Standard, January 1, 1897.
