Natasha,
I'm pretty sure that Lady Helen Vincent is not "nee D'Abernon" [as

The base of
the palace would be more than likely the Grand Canal entrance to a palazzo. In
a letter from Janet Jewell (bellow), she thinks Sargent has painted is of the
Palazzo Grimani. All of these grand palaces have their front entrances onto the
canal instead of a paved street. Here, Sargent seems to be just interested in
the base of the... | GA | igrkio |
