During the mid-1920s when this work was painted, Dod Procter was one of the most famous artists in Britain. She was lauded for her unparalleled ability to depict the female form in a sensitive, sympathetic manner devoid of the voyeuristic overtones which permeated the work of some of her male peers. In this film, Philip offers insight into her painting 'Lydia', a charming and youthful portrait, currently on display at Philip Mould & Company as part of our exhibition, Pioneers: 500 Years of Women in British Art.
