An exquisite detailed miniature portrait on ivorine of a young lady by Joyce Kastner (1922-2011), who usually painted under her maiden name of Lillingston. This is believed to be a commission and was probably painted in the 1970s when she lived in Eastbourne. Usually Joyce signed her paintings 'JOML' and that signature is visible just above the right-hand centre of the shirt. The oval painting is unframed and measures 66mm x 56mm. A life-long artist, Joyce attended the Byam Shaw School of Art in London, where she studied for four years, specialising in portraiture. She was an associate member of the Royal Miniature Society and a founding member of the Hilliard Society, exhibiting annually with these as well as the Royal Society of Portrait Painters and the Royal Academy. A photograph of Joyce in her studio will be emailed to the sucessful bidder.
