Description
This is a portrait of acclaimed sculptor Florence Wyle who became the first female sculptor to become an official member of the Royal Canadian Academy of Arts in 1938.
Wyle, born in Illinois in 1881, was highly influential in securing sculpting's recognition as an art form - advocating for fair compensation for artists' work.
