sometimes the defining color the give supported its name the blue boy the pink boy now perhaps she should be called the yellow girl she's a wonderful color what can you tell me about her she yours well she belongs to the family she hangs in them in my parents house normally I know the artist was Matilda mum be boldly side bottom left yes Matilda maulvi is a very interesting phenomenon because she's part of the new wave of female artists that are beginning to write the male balance that dominated our history right through the 17th 18th and early 19th century do you get a lot of pleasure looking at it well I suppose I've grown up looking at it so I think I didn't take much notice of it perhaps when I was little but now that I'm older and friends see it and they said but you know it's a big picture and so I suppose people say well that's exciting and because obviously she's part of the family so that makes it more exciting now she's part of the family because this has been to 1913 I think so 30 31 something like that and we know the subject we do know the subject yes she sir she's my grandmother she's your grandmother I was looking for the family resemblance and I think I can see it actually now the big question is what did the grandmother think of it because it's really quite a striking thirty's image it is striking and then well we could just ask her herself what she thinks of it because we have the astonishing opportunity to talk to the subject herself picture like this done in the nineteen thirties yes she's here I have said it's absolutely wonderful to meet the subject of a picture like this and you are my brother the grandmother we've just spoken to the granddaughter so we've got all three of you here now can you recall being painted by Matilda oh yes I can she was my arms and she was well known in art circles but not to the general public and you remember dressing in that yellow outfit yes I do I love that Jenner dress what did you what did you feel like being painted I mean seeing yourself emerge on the canvas like that oh yes it was quite fun I think she had three sittings with me I think and I liked her we got almost over what do you yourself think of the portrait boy when I saw it first I said my arms are too long they look like the riddles you have got quite long arms though it's true but mind you you've got quite long arms in real life I asked it's very intrusive how old you are one hundred and three hundred and three a hundred and three so you were how old when you were being painted 2002 g1 and I can't remember it was either painted as the 21st birthday button or the wedding present I don't remember which well the painting itself I think is wonderful you brought it to life in an astonishing and novel way now its value because we we obviously talk about values is three four thousand pounds normally it's the object and the age of the object were in or of yes but today I can tell you for sure it's you thank you what a Godzilla there we're coming to the end of our day here at Darby roundhouse and I can't
