Woman with Beard – LS Lowry

Woman with Beard, by LS Lowery – When a bearded lady entered his railway compartment in Newport LS Lowry was delighted.
‘I could not let such an opportunity pass so I began almost at once to make a drawing of her on a bit of paper.
This famous piece of Art has become one of Lowry’s most collectable items.
As reported in the Guardian, it was described as sordid and Lowry’s response was “But I am very fond of sordid pictures,” he told his friend.
Lowry, a recluse who called even those he knew well “sir”, felt an echo of his own loneliness in the woman.
“She was sitting right opposite me. After a while, she asked, rather nervously, what I was doing. I blushed like a Dublin Bay prawn and showed her my sketch – the one from which I later made my painting of her.
