Not a hair out of place, not a feeling given away. The suit fits, the dogs behave: Una Troubridge, the British sculptor and translator, is in full control of the scene. Painted by Romaine Brooks in 1924 and gifted by the artist to the Smithsonian American Art Museum, this portrait is perfect for sharp dressers, soft butches, or anyone who knows how to command a room without raising their voice.
