Doris Zinkeisen won a scholarship to the Royal Academy Schools in 1917 and forged a prestigious career as a portrait painter well known for her depictions of society figures in a realist style. She received several notable commissions, including stage design work for Charles B. Cochran in the 1930s and murals for the RMS Queen Mary. During the Second World War Doris drove an ambulance in London during the Blitz and alongside her sister Anna was employed by the British Red Cross to record their activities in Europe.

We are grateful to Dr. Philip Kelleway for his assistance in cataloguing the present work.
