(76. 2 x 63. 5 cm), Paintings, George Luks (American, Williamsport, Pennsylvania 1866?1933 New York), Luks showed this canvas in the landmark show of the Eight at New York's Macbeth Galleries in February 1908. In 1916 his dealer, Kraushaar Galleries, included it in another exhibition. Reviewing that show, the critic James Gibbons Huneker described the painting's subject: "In life she was an elderly hag with a distinguished bearing, a depraved woman of rank, who wore five or six dresses at once, on her head a shapeless yet attractive gear, and in her pocket she carried a fat roll of bills for purposes of dissipation, or bribery, or for bailing out some Tenderloin wreck
