found it in a free little library in my neighborhood; only picked it up cuz it looked old and i was correct. its fascinating right now, lightly reminds me of Joan Didion

I have been reading this book and have nearly finished, and despite my dislike of previous Joan Didion works, I have thoroughly enjoyed this one and it taught me many things I felt other Didion books I read did not effectively convey. (I also enjoyed the talk of Joan Baez near the start, it very much suprised me.)
βWe forget all too soon the things we thought we could never forget. We forget the loves and the betrayals alike, forget what we whispered and what we screamed, forget who we were. My stake is always, of course, in the unmentioned girl in the plaid silk dress. Remember what it was to be me: that is always the point.β

idk how i came across this in my daily wikipedia surfs, but something about this painting just amuses me so much.
my first impression was this looks fairly modern in a way, possibly because of the composition and how she made her features so light and bouncy. it oddly made me think of disney when i looked for longer. then i see it was made in 1909 π
this painting can transcend times and i wouldnβt truly know when it was made unless i looked more closely at the objects around the subject. but even that can be a stretch as vintage items can be popular amongst anyone and they can just have their vanity setup look like this.
i tried looking for photographs of her online but alas nothing came up with certainty.
