PAINTER'S IDEAL
HER MAJESTY THE QUEEN AS SITTER FOR PORTRAIT. . LONDON, Saturday. "The Queen is the portrait-paint-er's ideal sitter, patient, untiring, and with a natural flair for correct vpose," says Mr. David Jagger, whose three-quarter-length portrait of Her Majesty is exhibited at the Royal Academy. 1 The Queen wore a gold gown and red cloak, trimmed with sahla fur. She sugested that it would be harmonious if she wore a ruby brooch and 'ring — details adding greatly to the dignity and charm of the picture. 1 "I was most interested in the manner in which the Queen posed her hands, which besides being beautiful, are displayed to the fullest advantage," said Mr. Jagger.j "One sitting lasted an hour, which is long enough for any model, but Her Majesty was not tired and refused rest. She listened to a lady-in-waiting reading a biography."
