Note: We are grateful to Rebecca John, Granddaughter of Augustus John, for confirming the authenticity of this work, dating it to the late 1920s when the artist habitually signed in red paint. The illustrated London News of 1927, the likely date of the present picture, notes that Snell "was lucky enough to have some lessons from that celebrated artist Augustus John, who was interested in her work". Snell was also friends with Sir Oswald Birley who had painted her portrait in 1922 in a manner reminiscent of Sir Peter Lely. She likewise drew many famous society beauties of her day, with her portraits, predominantly in crayon & watercolour, regularly appearing in Tatler & The Bystander during the first half of the 20th century. Additionally, she exhibited at the Fine Art Society, Grosvenor Gallery, New English Art Club, Royal Institute of Oil Painters & Society of Women Artists. She was married to Colonel Ebenezer John Lecky Pike, C.B.E, M.C. (1884-1965), of Dale Park, Arundel, Sussex, & consequently also made portraits of military figures which can be found in the Imperial War & Royal Air Force Museums. Born in Durban, South Africa, she lived in London & Petersfield, Hampshire.
