cynthia

Cynthia was painted by Wilfrid de Glehn in 1908 when she was 21. Seven years later she began the war diaries which are by far her most important  work (although unpublished in her lifetime); they are a crucial document about the way the war affected the initiators, one might almost say the promoters, the upper classes. This painting is in a private collection.
