Italian portrait painter Giovanni Boldini was also taken by her beauty and captured her on canvas and paper several times. An opportunity to acquire one of those drawings is coming up on 28 September when Bonhams New Bond Street, London will be auctioning a magnificent, signed, black chalk portrait, 12.5 x 19.5cm, in their sale of 19th Century European, Victorian and British Impressionist Art. The estimate is €29,000 to €41,000, so take your chequebook.
