About the Dame Mary Gilmore Painting
The sitter
for this portrait was a notable Australian poet and humanitarian. Dame Mary Gilmore
was painted and drawn several times by Dobell, with this 1957 version being the
most finished.
The distinguished writer gave Dobell a most flattering comment
when she said "The painting is far more important than the sitter. This
painting will still be carrying my identity when my own work is forgotten."
