Portrait of Eva Stotesbury (1865-1946)
by Douglas Granvil Chandor (1897-1953)

The pastel portrait depicts Eva Stotesbury wearing an emerald and diamond tiara and necklace enhanced by the 'Stotesbury Emerald'

The Columbian emerald's American journey began in 1908, when Cartier designed a necklace for Evalyn Walsh Mclean, an eccentric mining heiress.
Eva Stotesbury, a wealthy socialite for whom the stone is named, purchased the necklace from Cartier.

First offering of this painting. From the estate of her granddaughter Hope Cromwell Hopkins
