dykesanddykery: Girl With Cigarette (1925), one of Agnes Goodsir’s most famous paintings, depicts her “constant companion,” Rachel Dunn. Goodsir was born on June 18th, 1864 in the city of Portland, in Australia. After World War I, she traveled to Europe, where she took part in the Parisian lesbian scene of the 1920s and ’30s and became known as a talented portrait painter. She died in 1939, leaving all of her paintings to Dunn. Ooooh, I love this. Must have a print!
