Phyllis with Violin (1915). James McBey (British, 1883-1959). Oil on canvas. Aberdeen Art Gallery and Museums.McBey was commissioned to paint this portrait of the young violinist Phyllis Allan (later Lady Langley-Taylor). She was captivated by the artist and for several years sent him publicity photographs of herself and programmes of her performances. Although McBey did not have an ear for music, the technical aspects of stringed instruments fascinated him. -- source link
