A series of portraits, begun in the early 1930s, marks the point where Lowinsky turned from his previous imaginative figure compositions to portraiture. All the sitters in the series have pursed, closed lips and a rather bored attitude. The sitter, Avril Constance Turner, was born in 1916 and must have been twenty or twenty-one at the date of her portrait.
