Steve LeBailly Original Oil on Canvas Portrait – "Lady Agnew"
A striking and evocative original oil on canvas by late Seattle artist Stephen "Steve" B. LeBailly (1947–2024). This intimate study is an artist's "copy" after John Singer Sargent’s iconic 1892 portrait of Lady Agnew of Lochnaw, featuring a stylized, modern gaze against a deep, atmospheric green background. The reverse side features the artist's handwritten title "LADY AGNEW" and signature on the original Grumbacher-branded wooden stretcher bars, adding significant provenance and collector appeal. The piece is housed in a handsome burl-wood style frame that provides a rich, traditional finish to the subject.
