Portrait in oils: a young girl in a short, sleeveless dress, with striped socks & espadrilles(?) loungers on the end of a sofa in the corner of a room with some bottles on the floor beside her & a cat sleeping on the sofa next to her. Looks like London bohemia in the early 1960s, but isn't

   art, out of its time?

   Looking through a history of the portrait in C20th came across this Ernst Ludwig Kirchner portrait: 'Artist: Marcella' (1910).

   Now I don't know about you, but when I fist looked it (before looking across to the caption) I was sure this must have been painted in London in about 1964..... so to find its a German painting from over half a century earlier was like a little seeing a painting out of its time.

   Still, interesting portrait I thought.
