Blank greetings card with envelope featuring:

Dame Freya Madeline Stark NPG 5465

© National Portrait Gallery, London

by Herbert Olivier

Freya's early years were spent abroad, where she learned several languages. When her parents parted, her mother set up a factory in Italy making baskets and rugs. Aged twelve, Freya's long hair became entangled in one of the machines, tearing away her right ear and some of her scalp. Painted in a demure 'aesthetic' dress, her hair is characteristically pulled over her right ear to hide a childhood injury.
