Rachael Rand Jones ( 1905-1993 ) painted this portrait probably when she lived on the East Coast
of the USA. At some point she studied with John LaFarge who was a  famous stained glass artist, a 
rival of L.C.Tiffany. The woman has a serious look on her face and seems to express a feeling of 
confidence and strength. The painting is unsigned. It was purchased from her estate in Berkeley, 
California about 40 years ago along with other paintings and drawings. It is painted on canvas board 
15 3/4" x 20" and weighs one pound. Condition is excellent.
