Another English Spinster Surprises Art Journalists
You'd think these people in this late-feminist age would find unmarried art collectors less surprising - but there you go. Here's a pathologically shy English woman who is leaving her amazing collection of watercolors to the Courtauld in London. Even though the director of the Courtauld had never heard of her it sounds as though the dealer knew her and her mother perfectly well.
Here's my post about the last shocking woman who liked art and surprised the journalists (and her family). She turned out to be far from a shy spinster once I googled her name - but her nephew was working from a very old-fashioned script for 'unmarried British women of a certain age.'
