David Jagger. The Jade Necklace - the Artist’s Wife, 1923 (private collection).


Oil on canvas: 91.5 x 63.5 cm. Auctioned at Bonhams London, November 2017. Following their marriage in 1921, Jagger produced several exhibition canvases of his wife Katherine 'Kitty' Jagger (1900-1982). Throughout the decade she was sketched and painted by various other artists. Her photogenic beauty led to many images of her appearing in society magazines. Other portrait: here.
