Blank greetings card with envelope featuring:

Anna Zinkeisen NPG 5884

© National Portrait Gallery, London

by Anna Zinkeisen

In this self-portrait, Anna Zinkeisen looks out at the viewer with a confident gaze and positions herself in the world as artist, woman and worker. The lighting and colouring directs us to her painting arm. The bracelet around her wrist bears the insignia of the St John's Ambulance Brigade for which she was volunteering as a casualty nurse. This self-portrait may have been made in a disused operating theatre at St Mary's Hospital, Paddington, where she worked during the Second World War.

Card size: 125mm x 175mm

Images are printed in their original proportions, within a white border.
