I don’t know who she is, but you can bet she was in the Blue Book. Regardless, there are several things I find fascinating about this portrait. The first is the exotic bird on the wallpaper in the background. I found a couple other portraits by Towle on the Internet with birds and a lady. One was a parrot, and it brought a lot of money at one of the fancy-smancy big city auctions.
